Abstract
A potent and highly selective anhydride-based inhibitor of Leishmania mexicana cysteine protease CPB2.8DCTE (IC50 = 3.7 mM) was identified. The details of the interaction of the ligand with the enzyme active site were investigated by NMR biomimetic experiments and docking studies. Results of inhibition assays, NMR and theoretical studies indicate that the ligand acts initially as a non-covalent inhibitor and later as an irreversible covalent inhibitor by chemoselective attack of CYS 25 thiolate to an anhydride carbonyl.File in questo prodotto:
