Abstract

By using internal combinatorial library we were able to identify (4R)-thiazolidines carboxylic acid and its 2-substituted analogs as active inhibitors of urease. Molecular modeling and virtual screening were utilized to find out potential compounds. Computational techniques were employed at database of 90,000 ligands and selected the structure representing the low energy conformations, Grid and FlexX docking algorithms were used and the top binding ligands were synthesized and screened in wet-lab.
