Abstract
Human Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, which catalyses de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, is an emerging target for treatment of infectious diseases, arthritis and cancer. In order to provide a chemical tool studying this key enzyme, we characterized IPP/CNRS-A017, a highly potent, selective, and cell-active inhibitor of the human Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH). In this report, we describe the crystal structure of IPP/CNRS-A017 in complex with hDHODH, providing inside into its binding mode. Additionally, further off-target profiling in a kinome-wide screen and a G-Protein-Coupled Receptors screen as well as investigated cell viability effects in three different cell lines (HEK293T, U2OS, human fibroblasts) confirmed that IPP/CNRS-A017 is a highly selective chemical tool to study the biology of hDHODH. Specific sensitivity to IPP/CNRS-A017 was observed in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids.
