We describe here the design, synthesis and evaluation of an anti-trypanosomal 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (TPD) probe which facilitated the design and execution of PAL experiments in whole HEK293 cells and T. brucei parasites. These experiments confirmed tubulin as a protein target in both HEK293 cells and T. brucei.


Abstract

Studies have shown that depending on the substitution pattern, microtubule (MT)-targeting 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (TPDs) can produce different cellular responses in mammalian cells that may be due to these compounds interacting with distinct binding sites within the MT structure. Selected TPDs are also potently bioactive against the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, Trypanosoma brucei, both in vitro and in vivo. So far, however, there has been no direct evidence of tubulin engagement by these TPDs in T. brucei. Therefore, to enable further investigation of anti-trypanosomal TPDs, a TPD derivative amenable to photoaffinity labeling (PAL) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in PAL experiments using HEK293 cells and T. brucei. The data arising confirmed specific labeling of T. brucei tubulin. In addition, proteomic data revealed differences in the labeling profiles of tubulin between HEK293 and T. brucei, suggesting structural differences between the TPD binding site(s) in mammalian and trypanosomal tubulin.
