Modulation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a highly demanding, but also a very promising approach in chem. biol. and targeted drug discovery. In contrast to inhibiting PPIs with small, chem. tractable mols., stabilization of these interactions can only be achieved with complex natural products, like rapamycin, FK506, taxol, forskolin, brefeldin and fusicoccin. Fusicoccin stabilizes the activatory complex of the plant H+-ATPase PMA2 and 14-3-3 proteins. Recently, the stabilizing effect of fusicoccin could be mimicked by a trisubstituted pyrrolinone (pyrrolidone1, 1). Here, the authors report the synthesis, functional activity and crystal structure of derivatives of 1 that stabilize the 14-3-3-PMA2 complex. With a limited compound collection three modifications that are important for activity enhancement could be determined: (1) conversion of the pyrrolinone scaffold into a pyrazole, (2) introduction of a tetrazole moiety to the Ph ring that contacts PMA2, and (3) addition of a bromine to the Ph ring that exclusively contacts the 14-3-3 protein. The crystal structure of a pyrazole derivative of 1 in complex with 14-3-3 and PMA2 revealed that the more rigid core of this mol. positions the stabilizer deeper into the rim of the interface, enlarging especially the contact surface to PMA2. Combination of the aforementioned features gave rise to a mol. (I) that displays a threefold increase in stabilizing the 14-3-3-PMA2 complex over 1. Compound I and the other active derivatives show no effect on two other important 14-3-3 protein-protein interactions, i.e., with CRaf and p53. This is the first study that describes the successful optimization of a PPI stabilizer identified by screening.
