Structure-based design, synthesis of novel inhibitors of mtFabH was reported in this paper. A novel scaffold structure was designed, and 12 candidate compounds that displayed favorable binding with the active site were identified and synthesized. 2009 Song Li.

In order to understand the structural requirement of PTP-1B inhibitors, 52 oleanolic acid derivatives were divided into a training set （34 compounds） and a test set （18 compounds）. The highly reliable and predictive 3D-QSAR models were constructed by CoMFA, CoMSIA and topomer CoMFA methods, respectively. The results showed that the cross validated coefficient （q2） and non-cross-validated coefficient （R2） were 0.554 and 0.999 in the CoMFA model, 0.675 and 0.971 in the CoMSIA model, and 0.628 and 0.939 in the topomer CoMFA model, which suggests that three models are robust and have good exterior predictive capabilities. Furthermore, ten novel inhibitors with much higher inhibitory potency were designed. Our design strategy was that （i） the electronegative substituents （Cl, -CH2OH, OH and -CH2Cl） were introduced into the double bond of ring C, （ii） the hydrogen bond acceptor groups （C≡N and N atom）, electronegative groups （C≡N, N atom, -COOH and -COOCH3） and bulky substituents （C6H5N） were connected to the C-3 position, which would result in generating potent and selective PTP-1B inhibitors. We expect that the results in this paper have the potential to facilitate the process of design and to develop new potent PTP-1B inhibitors.展开更多

The predictive capabilities of two constructed CoMFA and CoMSIA models were verified by the leave-one-out cross-validation method. The results showed that the cross-validated coefficient（q2） and non-cross-validated coefficient（R2） were 0.559, 0.981 in the CoMFA model and 0.696, 0.978 in the CoM SIA model, respectively, which suggests that these two models are robust and have good exterior predictive capabilities. Furthermore, based on the contour maps information of two models, ten novel inhibitors with higher inhibitory potency were designed, and the quantum chemical calculation of density functional theory（DFT） was performed to investigate the mechanism why the designed molecules have stronger inhibitory activity than the lead compound. The calculations show that the C-50 position of lead compound is a key active site for the enhancement of inhibitory activity, and it should be introduced into the large electron withdrawing group, which would result in generating potent and selective H5 N1 entry inhibitors. We expect that the results in this paper could provide important information to develop new potent H5 N1 entry inhibitors.展开更多
