description The glucosamine derivative 2-(N-Acetyl)-L-phenylalanylamido-2-deoxy-<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>β</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-D-glucose (NAPA), was shown to inhibit the kinase activity of IKK<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>, one of the two catalytic subunits of IKK complex, decreasing the inflammatory status in osteoarthritis chondrocytes. In the present work we have investigated the inhibition mechanism of IKK<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> by NAPA by combining computational simulations, in vitro assays and Mass Spectrometry (MS) technique. The kinase in vitro assay was conducted using a recombinant IKK<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> and IKKtide, a 20 amino acid peptide substrate derived from I<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">k</span>B<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> kinase protein and containing the serine residues Ser32 and Ser36. Phosphorylated peptide production was measured by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS), and the atomic interaction between IKK<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> and NAPA has been studied by molecular docking and Molecular Dynamics (MD) approaches. Here we report that NAPA was able to inhibit the IKK<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> kinase activity with an IC<sub>50</sub> of 0.5 mM, to decrease the K<sub>m</sub> value from 0.337 mM to 0.402 mM and the V<sub>max</sub> from 0.0257 mM·min<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> to 0.0076 mM·min<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The computational analyses indicate the region between the KD, ULD and SDD domains of IKK<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mi>α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> as the optimal binding site explored by NAPA. Biochemical data indicate that there is a non-significant difference between K<sub>m</sub> and K<sub>i</sub> whereas there is a statistically significant difference between the two V<sub>max</sub> values. This evidence, combined with computational results, consistently indicates that the inhibition is non-competitive, and that the NAPA binding site is different than that of ATP or IKKtide.
