Structure-Based Identification of Organoruthenium Compounds as Nanomolar Antagonists of Cannabinoid Receptors.
Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling 2024 January 13
Metal complexes exhibit a diverse range of coordination geometries, representing novel privileged scaffolds with convenient click types of preparation inaccessible for typical carbon-centered organic compounds. Herein, we explored the opportunity to identify biologically active organometallic complexes by reverse docking of a rigid, minimum-size octahedral organoruthenium scaffold against thousands of protein-binding pockets. Interestingly, cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) was identified based on the docking scores and the degree of overlap between the docked organoruthenium scaffold and the hydrophobic scaffold of the cocrystallized ligand. Further structure-based optimization led to the discovery of organoruthenium complexes with nanomolar binding affinities and high selectivity toward CB2. Our work indicates that octahedral organoruthenium scaffolds may be advantageous for targeting the large and hydrophobic binding pockets and that the reverse docking approach may facilitate the discovery of novel privileged scaffolds, such as organometallic complexes, for exploring chemical space in lead discovery.
