On the basis of the efficient substrate for p60c-src protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) YIYGSFK-NH2 (1) (Km = 55 microM) obtained by combinatorial methods, we have designed and synthesized a series of conformationally and topographically constrained substrate-based peptide inhibitors of this enzyme, which showed IC50 values in the low-micromolar range (1-3 microM). A "rotamer scan" was performed by introducing the four stereoisomers of beta-Me(2')Nal in the postulated interaction site of the peptide inhibitor 23(IC50 = 1.6 microM). This substitution led to selective and potent inhibitors of p60c-src PTK; however, no substantial difference in potency was observed among them. This and the results of the "stereochemical scan" performed at residues 2 and 7 of 3 (peptides 19-21), which form the disulfide bond, may suggest that the enzyme active site does not have rigid topographic requirements and thus is able to achieve important conformational changes to bind the ligand as long as the pharmacophore pattern in the inhibitor is conserved. Two new potent iodo-containing nonphosphorylatable tyrosine analogues were also incorporated into our lead inhibitory sequence 23, producing the most potent inhibitors for p60c-src PTK identified thus far in our studies. Compounds 29 and 30 exhibit IC50 values of 0.13 and 0.54 microM, respectively. Peptide 29 is 420-fold more potent than the parent peptide 1. Selectivity studies of peptides 23-30 toward p60c-src, Lyn, and Lck PTK showed in general high Lyn/Src and moderate Lck/Src selectivity ratios. We found that the chi1 space constraints of the specialized amino acids, introduced at position 3 of the peptide lead 23, were not as important as the configuration of the Calpha of that residue to recognize the subtle chemical environment surrounding the active site of Src and Lck PTK, as reflected on the obtained Lck/Src selectivity ratios.
