4-CPPC selectively and reversibly inhibits human macrophage migration inhibitory factor-2 (MIF-2, also known as D-DT) with a competitive binding mode. The inhibition constant (Ki) for MIF-2 is 33 ± 0.7 µM, and for the related protein MIF-1, it is 431 ± 37 µM, resulting in a 13-fold selectivity for MIF-2 over MIF-1.[1]

| ln Vitro |
4-CPPC is reported as the first reversible and selective small-molecule inhibitor of MIF-2.[1]
The compound competitively inhibits the tautomerase activity of both MIF-1 and MIF-2, as determined using p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) as the substrate in an enzymatic assay. Lineweaver-Burk plots confirmed the competitive inhibition mechanism.[1] The binding of 4-CPPC to MIF-2 is characterized by an induced fit mechanism, where the C-terminal residues V113–L117 of MIF-2 undergo significant conformational changes to accommodate the inhibitor in the active site pocket. In the crystal structure, electron density for residues M114–L117 is absent upon 4-CPPC binding, indicating increased flexibility in this region.[1] The pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid moiety of 4-CPPC is buried within the MIF-2 active site, forming electrostatic interactions with K32, R36, and K109, hydrogen bonds with P1, S63, I64, and K109, polar interactions with S63 and S104, and hydrophobic interactions with P1, F2, I64, and I107. The benzoic acid moiety is exposed to the solvent and does not interact with the protein.[1] Structural alignment and comparison show that 4-CPPC selectivity for MIF-2 over MIF-1 is due to differences in the active site composition. In MIF-1, bulky residues Y36, Y95, and F113 create steric hindrance and clash with the benzoic acid moiety of 4-CPPC, preventing optimal binding.[1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
MIF Tautomerase Activity Inhibition Assay: A stock solution of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) substrate (100 mM) was freshly prepared in 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 6.2) and incubated overnight at room temperature to favor the keto form. A reaction mixture containing borate buffer (final concentration 0.420 M), recombinant human MIF-1 or MIF-2 protein (final concentration 100 nM or 250 nM, respectively), and 4-CPPC (dissolved in DMSO) was transferred to a UV-transparent 96-well plate containing varying final concentrations of HPP (0 to 2 mM). The final DMSO concentration was 1%. The enzymatic conversion of HPP keto form to its enol form, which complexes with borate, was monitored by measuring the increase in absorbance at 306 nm (ε306 = 11400 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹) over 90 seconds. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Initial velocity data were used to generate Lineweaver-Burk plots to determine the inhibition constant (Ki) and the mode of inhibition.[1]

| Additional Infomation |
4-CPPC (4-(3-carboxyphenyl)-2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) was discovered via in silico screening (details in a separate manuscript in preparation by R. Bucala).[1]
The crystal structure of the MIF-2/4-CPPC complex was determined at 1.40 Å resolution (PDB entry 6C5F). Apo-MIF-2 crystals were grown using the hanging drop method with a well solution containing PEG 4000, sodium citrate (pH 5.8), and ammonium acetate. For soaking, apo-MIF-2 crystals were transferred to a solution containing 0.2 M 4-CPPC, incubated for 24 hours, and then flash-frozen for X-ray data collection.[1] 4-CPPC represents a valuable chemical tool to distinguish the biological functions of MIF-2 from those of MIF-1 in systems where both proteins are co-expressed, such as in cancer, inflammation, and cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. It provides a structural basis for the design of more potent and selective MIF-2 inhibitors, particularly by modifying the solvent-exposed benzoic acid moiety.[1] |
