Screening herbal and natural product libraries to aid discovery of novel allosteric modulators of human P2X7.
P2X7 is an emerging therapeutic target for several disorders and diseases due to its role in inflammatory signalling. This study aimed to exploit the unique chemical libraries of plants used in traditional medicinal practices to discover novel allosteric modulators from natural sources. We identified several compounds from the NCI Natural Product library as P2X7 antagonists including confertifolin and digallic acid (IC50 values 3.86 µM and 4.05 µM). We also identified scopafungin as a novel positive allosteric modulator of hP2X7. Screening a traditional medicinal plant extract library revealed 39 plant species with inhibitory action at hP2X7 and 17 plant species with positive allosteric modulator activity. Using computational docking to filter identified components from these plant species and determine potential antagonists, we investigated nine purified chemicals including flavonoids quercetin, kaempferol, ECG, and EGCG. These were shown to inhibit ATP-induced YO-PRO-1 uptake into HEK-hP2X7 cells; however, we also showed that all four flavonoids demonstrated significant assay interference using a cell-free DNA YO-PRO-1 fluorescence test. One plant extract, Dioscorea nipponica, demonstrating positive modulator activity was investigated, and dioscin was identified as a glycoside with PAM activity in ATP-induced YO-PRO-1 uptake assay and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. However, membrane permeabilisation was observed following application > 10 min limiting the use of dioscin as a pharmacological tool. This work describes a useful workflow with multiple assays for the identification of novel allosteric modulators for human P2X7.
期刊介绍:
Nucleotides and nucleosides are primitive biological molecules that were utilized early in evolution both as intracellular energy sources and as extracellular signalling molecules. ATP was first identified as a neurotransmitter and later as a co-transmitter with all the established neurotransmitters in both peripheral and central nervous systems. Four subtypes of P1 (adenosine) receptors, 7 subtypes of P2X ion channel receptors and 8 subtypes of P2Y G protein-coupled receptors have currently been identified. Since P2 receptors were first cloned in the early 1990’s, there is clear evidence for the widespread distribution of both P1 and P2 receptor subtypes in neuronal and non-neuronal cells, including glial, immune, bone, muscle, endothelial, epithelial and endocrine cells.
