1 Progress in utilization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cytochrome P450 monooxygenases as novel drug targets Central University of Technology Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa Dr Khajamohiddin Syed

2 Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Lung pathogen – causes Tuberculosis (TB) Leading cause of death world wide One third of the worlds population affected by TB Leading killer of people living with HIV/AIDS Drug resistance (MDR, XDR & TDR) Novel drugs and drug targets Gandhi et al., 2006; Migliori et al., 2012; Raviglione et al., 2012; WHO fact sheet, 2013

3 Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases
M. tuberculosis: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases 20 P450s Heme-thiolate enzymes Stereo- and regio-specific activity CYP121, CYP125 and CYP128 – essential M. tuberculosis P450s : novel drug targets What’s the problem ?? Reactions catalyzed by P450s (Sono et al., 1996) Hudson et al. 2012;Ouellet et al., 2013

4 M. tuberculosis P450 research: Major problems
Essential P450s – biased Expression of M. tuberculosis P450s P450 inhibitors P450 family specific targeting

5 M. tuberculosis P450 research: Potential new P450 candidates
Syed et al. unpublished data

6 M. tuberculosis P450 research: Expression
P450 expression library Syed et al. unpublished data

7 M. tuberculosis P450 research: P450 inhibitors
CYP121A1 & CYP125A1 CYP123A1, CYP128A1 & CYP135A1 Crystal structures 3d-models Active site mapping Virtual screening of chemical libraries Potential P450 inhibitors In vitro validation (in progress) Syed et al. unpublished data

8 P450 family specific targeting: Major problems
Primary sequence – diversity Similar three dimensional fold Classification based on homology >40%- family & >55%- subfamily What makes each P450 family unique? Characteristics of P450 family? A topological overview of the conserved CYP structure (Sirim et al., 2012)

9 P450 family specific signatures
67 P450 families across biological kingdoms EXXR and CXG motif based signatures P450 family specific amino acids P450 family specific active site cavity amino acid conservation – in progress CYP51 family EXXR and CXG motifs (407 P450s) Syed and Mashele 2014

10 M. tuberculosis P450 Research: Progress
New M. tuberculosis P450s : Potential drug candidates Expression of M. tuberculosis P450s - achieved Identified potential M. tuberculosis P450 inhibitors P450 family specific drug targeting - possible
