Product Description
AN2718 is a novel boron-containing small molecule that inhibits an essential protein synthesis enzyme, leucyl-transfer RNA synthetase, or LeuRS. This enzyme plays an essential role in fungal protein synthesis by attaching the leucine amino acid to transfer RNA, or tRNA. AN2718, an investigational topical anti-fungal product candidate for the potential treatment of skin and nail infections. At various concentrations, AN2718 gel showed low irritation potential, leading investigators to conclude that application site reactions in future efficacy trials would be unlikely.
AN2718 (CAS 174672-06-1) is a novel boron-containing small molecule belonging to the class of benzoxaboroles, a new class of antifungals. It inhibits an essential protein synthesis enzyme, leucyl-transfer RNA synthetase (LeuRS), through the OBORT (oxaborole tRNA capture) mechanism. AN2718 is primarily used topically for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nails. It has good MIC90 activity against dermatophytes like T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Fungal[1].
AN2718 targets leucyl-transfer RNA synthetase (LeuRS), an essential enzyme in protein synthesis. It acts by blocking protein synthesis through the OBORT (oxaborole tRNA capture) mechanism. By inhibiting LeuRS, AN2718 prevents the charging of tRNA with leucine, thereby halting protein synthesis in fungal cells. This leads to inhibition of fungal growth. Its mechanism is specific to fungi, making it a promising antifungal agent.
ln Vitro
Molds (A. fumigatus) and yeasts (C. albicans) have cytoplasmic LeuRS inhibition by AN2718, with IC50 values of 2 μM and 4.2 μM, respectively. T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes are two dermatophytes that AN2718 exhibits strong MIC90 activity against[1].
In vitro, AN2718 demonstrates potent antifungal activity against a range of dermatophytes and other fungi. It has good MIC90 activity against the dermatophytes T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. Its activity is assessed using standard broth microdilution assays to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of leucyl-tRNA synthetase, as demonstrated in enzymatic assays.
ln Vivo
In vivo, AN2718 is used topically for the treatment of onychomycosis. Its efficacy in treating fungal nail infections has been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies. As a topical agent, it is applied directly to the affected nails, minimizing systemic exposure. Its boron-containing structure is key to its antifungal activity and its ability to penetrate the nail plate.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme assay for AN2718 measures its ability to inhibit leucyl-transfer RNA synthetase (LeuRS) activity. These cell-free assays use purified LeuRS and measure the charging of tRNA with leucine in the presence of the compound. The inhibitory potency (IC50) is determined by measuring the reduction in enzyme activity. These assays confirm its mechanism of action as a LeuRS inhibitor.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for AN2718 assess its antifungal activity against fungal pathogens. Fungi such as T. rubrum or T. mentagrophytes are cultured in the presence of various concentrations of AN2718. Fungal growth is measured, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined. These assays demonstrate the compound's functional activity against clinically relevant fungal species.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for AN2718 have been conducted in models of dermatophyte infections to evaluate its efficacy. These studies typically involve infecting animals with fungi and then treating them topically with AN2718. The reduction in fungal burden and clinical improvement are assessed. However, specific details of these studies are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for AN2718 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a topical agent, its systemic absorption is expected to be minimal. Its stability in solution is rarely reported. Its pharmacokinetic properties would be important for its development as a therapeutic agent, but specific data are not provided in the search results.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for AN2718 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a topical antifungal, its toxicity is expected to be low due to minimal systemic absorption. However, comprehensive toxicological studies would be required to establish its safety profile for therapeutic use. It is intended for research purposes only.
