Analysis of molecular interaction fields based on the
published crystal structure of thapsigargin bound to the
sarco/endoplasmatic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase and analysis of the
volume and shape of the ligand binding site and of the
SERCA-thapsigargin interactions have enabled design of two new
compounds inhibiting SERCA in the subpicomolar range. The two
inhibitors were synthesized using (S)-carvone as starting
material and found to be 3 and 10 times more potent than
thapsigargin.
