Abstract

We show for the first time that natural 2,5-diketopiperazines (cyclic dipeptides) can suppress the activity of the important anticancer target poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP). Cyclo(L-Ala-L-Ala) and cyclo(L-Ala-D-Ala) can interact with the key residues of the PARP-1 active site, as demonstrated using docking and molecular dynamics simulations. One of the amide groups of cyclo(L-Ala-L-Ala) and cyclo(L-Ala-D-Ala) forms hydrogen bonds with the Gly863 residue, while the second amide group can form a hydrogen bond with the catalytic residue Glu988, and the side chain can make a hydrophobic contact with Ala898. Newly identified diketopiperazine inhibitors are promising basic structures for the design of more effective inhibitors of PARP family enzymes. The piperazine core with two chiral centers provides many opportunities for structural optimization.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 April 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Biochemistry
#21,450
of 22,293 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#304,464
of 343,860 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biochemistry
#162
of 194 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 22,293 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,860 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 194 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
