Bacterial 5′-methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN) hydrolyzes adenine from its substrates to form S-methyl-5-thioribose and S-ribosyl-l-homocysteine. MTANs are involved in quorum sensing, menaquinone synthesis, and 5′-methylthioadenosine recycling to S-adenosylmethionine. Helicobacter pylori uses MTAN in its unusual menaquinone pathway, making H. pylori MTAN a target for antibiotic development. Human 5′-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), a reported anticancer target, catalyzes phosphorolysis of 5′-methylthioadenosine to salvage S-adenosylmethionine. Transition-state analogues designed for HpMTAN and MTAP show significant overlap in specificity. Fifteen unique transition-state analogues are described here and are used to explore inhibitor specificity. Several analogues of HpMTAN bind in the picomolar range while inhibiting human MTAP with orders of magnitude weaker affinity. Structural analysis of HpMTAN shows inhibitors extending through a hydrophobic channel to the protein surface. The more enclosed catalytic sites of human MTAP require the inhibitors to adopt a folded structure, displacing the phosphate nucleophile from the catalytic site.

The present invention provides an integrin expression inhibitor, and an agent for treating arterial sclerosis, psoriasis, cancer, retinal angiogenesis, diabetic retinopathy or inflammatory diseases, an anticoagulant, or a cancer metastasis suppressor on the basis of an integrin inhibitory action. Namely, it provides an integrin expression inhibitor comprising, as an active ingredient, a sulfonamide compound represented by the following formula (I), a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof or a hydrate of them. In the formula, B means a C6-C10 aryl ring or 6- to 10-membered heteroaryl ring which may have a substituent and in which a part of the ring may be saturated; K means a single bond, —CH═CH— or —(CR4bR5b)mb— (wherein R4b and R5b are the same as or different from each other and each means hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl group; and mb means an integer of 1 or 2); R1 means hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group; Z means a single bond or —CO—NH—; and R means a C6-C10 aryl ring or 6- to 10-membered heteroaryl ring which may have a substituent and in which a part of the ring may be saturated, respectively.
