Neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for the treatment of influenza. In this study, a new lead NA inhibitor, 4 (ZINC01121127), was discovered by pharmacophore-based virtual screening and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Some novel NA inhibitors containing thiophene ring were synthesized by optimizing the skeleton of the lead compound 4. Compound 4b had the most potent inhibitory activity against
神经氨酸酶(NA)是治疗流感的重要靶点。在这项研究中,通过基于药效团的虚拟筛选和分子动力学 (MD) 模拟,发现了一种新的先导 NA
抑制剂4 ( ZINC01121127 )。通过优化先导化合物的骨架,合成了一些新型含
噻吩环的NA
抑制剂4。化合物4b对NA的抑制活性最强(IC 50 = 0.03 μM),优于阳性对照
羧酸奥司他韦(IC 50 = 0.06 μM)。4b(欧共体50 = 1.59 μM) 对 A/chicken/Hubei/327/2004 (H5N1-DW) 也表现出优异的抗病毒活性,优于参考药物 OSC (
EC 50 = 5.97 μM)。分子对接研究表明,
噻吩部分在化合物4b中起重要作用,可以很好地与NA的活性位点结合。4b的良好活性也可能归因于
喹啉环延伸到150腔中。本研究结果可为新型NA
抑制剂的开发提供深刻的帮助。
