Sažetak
Ten phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline-based compounds synthesized using alkyne+azide [3+2] building block cycloaddition were tested as potential reactivators of human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibited by different organophosphates. Computational docking indicated molecule phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline moiety association with the hAChE peripheral anionic binding site (Trp286, Tyr337 and Tyr341). Therefore, stabilization near the gorge opening seemed to control the general orientation of the pyridinium ring with its attached aldoxime group inserted into the internal gorge of the hAChE active center. All of the oximes were tested in vitro as potential reactivators of sarin-, cyclosarin-, tabun- and VX-conjugated hAChE and potent reactivators identified, especially with the cyclosarin-hAChE conjugate. Nevertheless, in order to acquire results applicable to reactivation in vivo, compounds should be tested at concentrations higher than 10µM, which proved limiting due to the concomitant reversible inhibition of unconjugated hAChE. High oxime affinity was observed for hAChE, but not for human butyrylcholinesterase, where an aromatic peripheral site is absent. Therefore, we tested the oximes as reversible inhibitors of hAChE. All of the compounds potently inhibited hAChE with dissociation inhibition constants in nM range. To further explore potential for safe antidotal activity, we tested oxime cytotoxicity on the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. No cytotoxicity was observed at studied concentrations. In conclusion our study has shown that likely binding poses of an oxime in the hAChE active center do not always ensure enhanced enzyme activity for in vivo reactivation. Very high affinity of a candidate oxime for unconjugated hAChE may prove counterproductive for reactivation in tissue.
