A Phenotarget Approach for Identifying an Alkaloid Interacting with the Tuberculosis Protein Rv1466

In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in phenotypic-based drug discovery (PDD) due to target-based drug discovery (TDD) falling below expectations. Both PDD and TDD have their unique advantages and should be used as complementary methods in drug discovery. The PhenoTarget approach co...

Here we described the use of the PhenoTarget approach to identify an anti-tuberculosis lead compound. Fractions from <i>Polycarpa aurata</i> were identified with activity against <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> H37Rv. Native magnetic resonance mass spectrometry (MRMS) against a panel of 37 proteins from <i>Mycobacterium</i> proteomes showed that a fraction from a 95% ethanol re-extraction specifically formed a protein-ligand complex with Rv1466, a putative uncharacterized <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> protein. The natural product responsible was isolated and characterized to be polycarpine. The molecular weight of the ligand bound to Rv1466, 233 Da, was half the molecular weight of polycarpine less one proton, indicating that polycarpine formed a covalent bond with Rv1466.https://www.mdpi.com/1660-3397/18/3/149phenotarget approachmrmsprotein-ligand complexpolycarpine
