AvailableTarget Information
Pyruvate kinase (PK) is a critical metabolic enzyme operating in the ultimate step in glycolysis where it catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, yielding one molecule of pyruvate and one molecule of ATP. PK from bacillus stearothermophilus (bPK) is an allosteric enzyme activated by monophosphate sugars such as AMP or ribose 5-phosphate and therefore shows different allosteric regulation than human isozymes that are regulated by the bis-phosphorylated sugar, fructose1,6-bisphosphate. Inhibitors of bPK have been identified through a proof-of-principle qHTS assay. This scaffold is currently being examined as means to understand and design chemical series that are capable of inhibiting the PKs from bacillus and other bacterial species.

Activity
Summary activity statement /
ML001 (SID 862236 ; CID 663459) is observed to be a potent and selective inhibitor of Bacillus stearothermophilus Pyruvate Kinase. ML001 is a compound belonging to class Pyruvinb; type Bacruvinb. This probe has been tested in > 800 bioassays found within PubChem and was designated as active in 16 assays. ML001 exhibited potency against the bacterial PK with a 250 nM IC50 inhibition; while showing > 5 uM AC50 against the rest. This compound may show fluorescence which would explain the activity in spectroscopic profiling assay. The inactivity in > 700 PubChem assay would suggest that this is a highly selective compound. ML001 acts as a mixed-type inhibitor with respect to ADP and showed a Ki of 200 nM.
