Abstract [en]

Various pharmacoepidemiological investigational studies have indicated that Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) may increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-AD related dementias. Previously, we have reported the inhibition of the acetylcholine biosynthesizing enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) by PPIs, for which omeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole exhibited IC50 values of 0.1, 1.5, and 5.3 mu M, respectively. In this study we utilize a battery of computational tools to perceive a mechanistic insight into the molecular interaction of PPIs with the ChAT binding pocket that may further help in designing novel ChAT ligands. Various in-silico tools make it possible for us to elucidate the binding interaction, conformational stability, and dynamics of the protein-ligand complexes within a 200 ns time frame. Further, the binding free energies for the PPI-ChAT complexes were explored. The results suggest that the PPIs exhibit equal or higher binding affinity toward the ChAT catalytic tunnel and are stable throughout the simulated time and that the pyridine ring of the PPIs interacts primarily with the catalytic residue His324. A free energy landscape analysis showed that the folding process was linear, and the residue interaction network analysis can provide insight into the roles of various amino acid residues in stabilization of the PPIs in the ChAT binding pocket. As a major factor for the onset of Alzheimer's disease is linked to cholinergic dysfunction, our previous and the present findings give clear insight into the PPI interaction with ChAT. The scaffold can be further simplified to develop novel ChAT ligands, which can also be used as ChAT tracer probes for the diagnosis of cholinergic dysfunction and to initiate timely therapeutic interventions to prevent or delay the progression of AD.
