In order to combat various infectious diseases, the utilization of host-directed therapies as an alternative to chemotherapy has gained a lot of attention in the recent past, since it bypasses the existing limitations of conventional therapies. The use of host epigenetic enzymes like histone lysine methyltransferases and lysine demethylases as potential drug targets has successfully been employed for controlling various inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and acute leukemia. In our earlier study, we have already shown that the functional knockdown of KDM6B and ASH1L in the experimental model of visceral leishmaniasis has resulted in a significant reduction of organ parasite burden. Herein, we performed a high throughput virtual screening against KDM6B and ASH1L using > 53,000 compounds that were obtained from the Maybridge library and PubChem Database, followed by molecular docking to evaluate their docking score/Glide Gscore. Based on their docking scores, the selected inhibitors were later assessed for their in vitro anti-leishmanial efficacy. Out of all inhibitors designed against KDM6B and ASH1L, HTS09796, GSK-J4 and AS-99 particularly showed promising in vitro activity with IC < 5 µM against both extracellular promastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of L. donovani. In vitro drug interaction studies of these inhibitors further demonstrated their synergistic interaction with amphotericin-B and miltefosine. However, GSK-J4 makes an exception by displaying an in different mode of interaction with miltefosine. Collectively, our in silico and in vitro studies acted as a platform to identify the applicability of these inhibitors targeted against KDM6B and ASH1L for anti-leishmanial therapy.
