β-N-Acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT) is a promising therapeutic target. The first nanomolar OGT inhibitor, OSMI-4, is still the most potent inhibitor reported to date, yet its physicochemical properties limit its utility as a potential drug candidate and biological tool. To address this, we performed scaffold hopping, which yielded new OSMI-4 derivatives, thus providing insight into the recognition
β- N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖转移酶(OGT) 是一个很有前途的治疗靶点。第一个纳摩尔 OGT 抑制剂 OSMI-4 仍然是迄今为止报道的最有效的抑制剂,但其物理化学性质限制了其作为潜在候选药物和生物工具的实用性。为了解决这个问题,我们进行了支架跳跃,产生了新的 OSMI-4 衍生物,从而提供了对氢键角和去溶剂化惩罚等识别特征的深入了解。
