Identification of Novel Urease Inhibitors by High-Throughput Virtual and in Vitro Screening
摘要:
Ureases are important in both agriculture and human health. Bacterial ureases are directly involved in many farm-field problems and pathological conditions. Here, we report a structure-based virtual screening of an in-house compound bank of about 6000 molecular entities by computational docking and binding free energy calculations followed by in vitro screening. Applied protocol leads to the identification of novel urease inhibitors, which can serve as starting points for structural optimization.

skeleton based 3-(halobenzyl)isocarbostyrils (2a–2i), were designed and synthesized to examine the effect of position of different halide substituents on anti-inflammatoryactivity. The structure–activity relationship shows a significant influence of position of halide substituents on in vitro anti-inflammatoryactivity. 3-(o-halobenzyl)isocarbostyrils (2a, 2d, and 2g) showed the lowest activity most probably
