Abstract
Fluorine substituents have become a widespread and important drug component, their introduction facilitated by the development of safe and selective fluorinating agents. Organofluorine affects nearly all physical and adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties of a lead compound. Its inductive effects are relatively well understood, enhancing bioavailability, for example, by reducing the basicity of neighboring amines. In contrast, exploration of the specific influence of carbon-fluorine single bonds on docking interactions, whether through direct contact with the protein or through stereoelectronic effects on molecular conformation of the drug, has only recently begun. Here, we review experimental progress in this vein and add complementary analysis based on comprehensive searches in the Cambridge Structural Database and the Protein Data Bank.
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. (A) Aryl–OCHF[2] fragment ( = 19°) of roflumilast bound to phosphordiesterase 4 (table S1, entry 7) shows a multipolar C–F···C=O contact with the backbone amide of Trp332. (B) Aryl–OCF[3] fragment ( = 81°) of an inhibitor bound to the Ser protease trypsin (table S1, entry 13). Protein Cs are shown in gray (also applies to Fig. 5 and the SOM).
Figure 5.
Fig. 5. (A) Fluorine interacts favorably with peptidic N–H (ligand Cs in green) and C=O (ligand Cs in purple) moieties. (B) Fluorine undergoes dipolar interactions with side-chain amides of Gln and Asp (ligand Cs in yellow). (C) The C–F residue of a tricyclic inhibitor undergoes a multipolar interaction with the backbone C=O of Asn98 in the D pocket of thrombin (table S1, entry 23). (D) A dipolar N–H···F–C interaction induces the shown conformation of a thrombin inhibitor within the enzyme (fig. S3 and table S1, entry 22).
