The metal-β-lactamase inhibitor can restore the efficacy of β-lactam antibiotics, and its development has attracted much attention. In the present study, we used four widely-used virtual screening programs to screen 7035 small molecules to identify potential L1 inhibitors, and a high-throughput experimental model of L1 inhibitors was established. In this high-throughput testing model, the inhibition rate of 163 compounds on L1 exceeded 40%. The results of virtual screening of 7035 small molecules using the following four programs showed that among the top 1.35% of the compounds, their hit rates were ranked as Schr?dinger’s(5.26%), DS(1.05%), and Sybyl-x 2.0(1.05%), and Smina(2.11%).展开更多
