Design and Synthesis of Inhibitors of Plasmodium Falciparum N-Myristoyltransferase, a Promising Target for Anti-Malarial Drug Discovery.
J.Med.Chem., 55:8879-, 2012

PubMed Abstract: Design of inhibitors for N-myristoyltransferase (NMT), an enzyme responsible for protein trafficking in Plasmodium falciparum , the most lethal species of parasites that cause malaria, is described. Chemistry-driven optimization of compound 1 from a focused NMT inhibitor library led to the identification of two early lead compounds 4 and 25, which showed good enzyme and cellular potency and excellent selectivity over human NMT. These molecules provide a valuable starting point for further development.
