Abstract:The knowledge derived from the three-dimensional structure of a macromolecular receptor either in the native form or in complex with different ligands has given new insights to the development of improved drug candidates contributing to the drug development pipeline. The structure-based drug design approach has been tested on a number of macromolecular targets implicated in various diseases such as hypertension, glaucoma, HIV and influenza. This approach has also been employed for the development of new antidi… Show more
“…Liver and muscle isoforms of GP have been thoroughly characterized, the structural features of the proteins and the binding sites are well known and have been surveyed, 14,15 therefore these enzymes are ideal targets for rational and structure-based inhibitor design.…”

“…14,15,17 The evolution of some glucose based compounds leading to the first low micromolar inhibitor of GP is exemplified in Chart 1 by compounds A-C. Thus, introduction of an acylamino type substituent in the β-anomeric position of A to give B resulted in enhanced binding by more than one order of magnitude.…”

“…This could be exploited for the design of more potent inhibitors of enzyme activity coupling the knowledge derived from each complex structure with geometric 640 algorithms. 25 The compounds 15, 25-32 were docked into the Bzurea and 2-Nap-urea crystal structure of the glycogen phosphorylase, respectively. The binding affinity of the highest ranked docked poses was predicted by the LIAISON program (LiaScore) and correlated with experimentally measured K i values of the studied inhibitors.…”
“…These studies contribute to an extension of SAR related to interactions of inhibitors in the b-channel of the enzyme which can accommodate aglycons of the glucose analogue compounds and is lined with amino acid side chains of mixed character. 16 …”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
