Elastase B (LasB) is a zinc metalloprotease and a crucial virulence factor of . As the need for new strategies to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) constantly rises, this protein has become a key target in the development of novel antivirulence agents. The extensive knowledge of the structure of its active site, containing two subpockets and a zinc atom, led to various structure-based medicinal chemistry programs and the optimization of several chemical classes of inhibitors. This review provides a brief reminder of the structure of the active site and a summary of the disclosed LasB inhibitors. We specifically focused on the analysis of their binding modes with a detailed representation of them, hence giving an overview of the strategies aiming at targeting LasB by small molecules.
弹性蛋白酶B(LasB)是一种锌金属蛋白酶,也是……的关键毒力因子。随着对抗菌药物耐药性(AMR)新策略的需求不断增加,这种蛋白质已成为新型抗毒力药物开发的关键靶点。对其活性位点结构的广泛了解,该活性位点包含两个亚口袋和一个锌原子,催生了各种基于结构的药物化学项目以及对几类抑制剂的优化。本综述简要回顾了活性位点的结构,并总结了已公开的LasB抑制剂。我们特别着重于分析它们的结合模式并进行详细展示,从而概述了旨在通过小分子靶向LasB的策略。
