The series of diamondoids: adamantane, diamantane, triamantane, 2-isopropenyl-2-methyladamantane and 3-isopropenyl-3-methyldiamantane (3-IPMDIA), were employed to elucidate the molecular basis of their interaction with the active site of cytochromes P450 (CYP) of a 2B subfamily. These potent inhibitors of CYP2B enzymes were docked into the homology model of CYP2B4. Apparent dissociation constants calculated for the complexes of CYP2B4 with docked diamandoids agreed closely with the experimental data showing inhibition potency of the compounds and their binding affinity to CYP2B4. Superimposed structures of docked diamondoids mapped binding site residues. As they are mainly non-polar residues, the hydrophobicity plays the major role in the binding of diamondoids. Overlapping structure of diamondoids defined an elliptical binding cavity (5.9 Å inner diameter, 7.9 Å length) forming an angle of ∼⃒43° with the heme plane. CYP2B specific diamondoids, namely 3-IPMDIA, showing the highest binding affinity, should be considered for a potential clinical use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
