X Abstract

The quinolines have been used in the treatment of malaria, arthritis, and lupus for many years, yet the precise mechanism of their action remains unclear. In this study, we used a functional proteomics approach that exploited the structural similarities between the quinoline compounds and the purine ring of ATP to identify quinoline-binding proteins. Several quinoline drugs were screened by displacement affinity chromatography against the purine binding proteome captured with [gamma]-phosphate-linked ATP-Sepharose. Screening of the human red blood cell purine binding proteome identified two human proteins, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) and quinone reductase 2 (QR2). In contrast, no proteins were detected upon screening of the Plasmodium falciparum purine binding proteome with the quinolines. In a complementary approach, we passed cell lysates from mice, red blood cells, or P. falciparum over hydroxychloroquine- or primaquine-Sepharose. Consistent with the displacement affinity chromatography screen, ALDH and QR2 were the only proteins recovered from mice and human red blood cell lysate and no proteins were recovered from P. falciparum. Furthermore, the activity of QR2 was potently inhibited by several of the quinolines in vitro. Our results show that ALDH1 and QR2 are selective targets of the quinolines and may provide new insights into the mechanism of action of these drugs. 10.1124/mol.62.6.1364

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
