Abstract

Sacubitril is an ethyl ester prodrug of LBQ657, the active neprilysin (NEP) inhibitor, and is a component of LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan). We report herein the three-dimensional structure of LBQ657 in complex with human NEP at 2Å resolution. The X-ray structure unravels the binding mode of the compound spanning the S1, S1’ and S2’ sub-pockets of the active site, consistent with a competitive inhibition mode. An induced fit conformational change upon binding of the P1’-biphenyl moiety of the inhibitor suggests an explanation for its selectivity against structurally homologous zinc metallopeptidases.
