RT Journal Article T1 Synthesis of 3-alkyl enol mimics inhibitors of type II dehydroquinase: factors influencing their inhibition potency A1 Blanco Rodríguez, Beatriz A1 Sedes, Antía A1 Peón López, Antonio A1 Lamb, Heather A1 Hawkins, Alastair R. A1 Castedo Expósito, José Luis A1 González Bello, Concepción AB Several 3-alkylaryl mimics of the enol intermediate in the reaction catalyzed by type II dehydroquinase were synthesized to investigate the effect on the inhibition potency of replacing the oxygen atom in the side chain by a carbon atom. The length and the rigidity of the spacer was also studied. The inhibitory properties of the reported compounds against type II dehydroquinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Helicobacter pylori are also reported. The binding modes of these analogs in the active site of both enzymes were studied by molecular docking using GOLD 5.0 and dynamic simulations studies PB Royal Society of Chemistry SN 1477-0520 YR 2012 FD 2012-03-05 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16924 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16924 LA eng NO Blanco, B., Sedes, A., Peón, A., Lamb, H., Hawkins, A., Castedo, L., & González-Bello, C.
