Several substrate and product analogs were synthesized and tested as in vitro inhibitors of bovine brain N-myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT; EC 2.3.1.97). At 40 microM, the acyl CoA analog, S-(2-ketopentadecyl)-CoA, completely inhibited NMT in the presence of 80 microM myristoyl CoA. Decreasing but marked inhibition was also observed with the acyl CoA analogs, S-(2-bromo-tetradecanoyl)-CoA and S-(3-(epoxymethylene)dodecanoyl)-CoA, and the multisubstrate derivative N-(2-S-CoA-tetradecanoyl)glycinamide in the presence of 40 microM myristoyl CoA. Inhibition was also observed with the non-coenzyme A myristoyl analog, 1-bromo-2-pentadecanone. All of the above compounds exhibited reversible competitive inhibition kinetics with respect to myristoyl CoA with Ki values of 0.11 to 24 microM. Two additional acyl CoA analogs, S-(cis-3-tetradecenoyl)-CoA and S-(3-tetradecynoyl)-CoA, functioned as alternative substrates for NMT.

D015195	Drug Design	The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.
