A combinatorial approach for the discovery of cytochrome P450 2D6 inhibitors from nature.
Scientific Reports 2017 August 15
The human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme is part of phase-I metabolism and metabolizes at least 20% of all clinically relevant drugs. Therefore, it is an important target for drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. High-throughput screening (HTS) assays are commonly used tools to examine DDI, but show certain drawbacks with regard to their applicability to natural products. We propose an in silico - in vitro workflow for the reliable identification of natural products with CYP2D6 inhibitory potential. In order to identify candidates from natural product-based databases that share similar structural features with established inhibitors, a pharmacophore model was applied. The virtual hits were tested for the inhibition of recombinant human CYP2D6 in a bioluminescence-based assay. By controlling for unspecific interferences of the test compounds with the detection reaction, the number of false positives were reduced. The success rate of the reported workflow was 76%, as most of the candidates identified in the in silico approach were able to inhibit CYP2D6 activity. In summary, the workflow presented here is a suitable and cost-efficient strategy for the discovery of new CYP2D6 inhibitors with natural product libraries.
