Abstract

Human tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (hTdp1) inhibitors have become a major area of drug research and structure-based design since they have been shown to work synergistically with camptothecin (CPT) and selectively in cancer cells. The pharmacophore features of 14hTdp1 inhibitors were used as a filter to screen the ChemNavigator iResearch Library of about 27 million purchasable samples. Docking of the inhibitors and hits obtained from virtual screening was performed into a structural model of hTdp1 based on a high resolution X-ray crystal structure of human Tdp1 in complex with vanadate, DNA and a human topoisomerase I (Top1)-derived peptide (PDB code: 1NOP). We present and discuss in some detail 46 compounds matching the three-dimensional arrangement of the pharmacophoric features. The presented novel chemotypes may provide new scaffolds for developing inhibitors of Tdp1.
