Conformational features of indolocarbazoles and their implication for the design of new bioactive compounds.

Abstract

Staurosporine and its analogs (STA-analogs) are indolocarbazoles (ICZs) compounds able to inhibit kinase proteins in a non-specific way, while exhibiting antimicrobial and cytostatic properties. The knowledge of molecular features associated to the complexation, including the ligand shape in solution and thermodynamics of complexation, are substantial to the development of new bioactive ICZs with improved therapeutic properties. In this context, the empirical approach of GROMOS force field is able to accurately reproduces condensed phase physicochemical properties of molecular systems after parameterization. Hence, through parameterization under GROMOS force field and molecular simulations, we assessed STA-analogs dynamics in aqueous solution, as well as their interaction with water to probe conformational and structural features involved in their complexation to therapeutic targets. The coexistence of multiple conformers observed in simulations, and confirmed by metadynamics calculations, expanding the known conformational space of these ligands with potential implications into ligand conformational selection during complexation. Also, changes in availability to H-bonding between the different substituents and water can reflect on effects at complexation free energy due to variation at the desolvation energetic costs. Based on these results, we expect the obtained structural data provides systemic framework for rational chemical modification of STA-analogs.
