Discovery of novel anti-tumor compounds targeting PARP-1 with induction of autophagy through in silico and in vitro screening
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is a critical enzyme involved in DNA damage repair and recombination, and shows great potential for drug development in the treatment of cancers with defective DNA repair. The anti-tumor activities of PARP-1 inhibitors are regulated by both inhibition activiti...

description | Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is a critical enzyme involved in DNA damage repair and recombination, and shows great potential for drug development in the treatment of cancers with defective DNA repair. The anti-tumor activities of PARP-1 inhibitors are regulated by both inhibition activities and allosteric mechanisms of PARP-1, and may also be involved in an autophagy-mediated process. Screening PARP-1 inhibitors with potential allosteric mechanisms and induced autophagy process could achieve elevated potency toward cancer cell killing. In this study, we tried to discover novel anti-tumor compounds targeting PARP-1 by computer simulations and in vitro screening. In order to filter PARP-1 inhibitors that could affect the folding state of the helix domain (HD) on PARP-1, the free energy contribution of key residues on HD were systematically analyzed using the ligand-binding crystal structures and integrated into in silico screening workflow for the selection of 20 pick-up compounds. Four compounds (Chemdiv codes: 8012-0567, 8018-6529, 8018-7168, 8018-7603) were proved with above 40% inhibitory ratio targeting PARP-1 under 20 μM, and further performed binding mode prediction and dynamic effect evaluation by molecular dynamics simulation. Further in vitro assays showed that compounds 8018-6529 and 8018-7168 could inhibit the growth of the human colorectal cancer cell (HCT-116) with IC50 values of 4.30 and 9.29 μM and were accompanied with an induced autophagy process. Taken together, we discover two novel anti-tumor compounds that target PARP-1 with an induced autophagy process and provide potential hit compounds for the anti-cancer drug development. |
