Structural highlights
Function
PA2GX_HUMAN PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Has a powerful potency for releasing arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids. Prefers phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine liposomes to those of phosphatidylserine.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The discovery of potent novel pyrazole containing group X secreted phospholipase A2 inhibitors via structure based virtual screening is reported. Docking was applied on a large set of in-house fragment collection and pharmacophore feature matching was used to filter docking poses. The selected virtual screening hits was run in NMR screening, a potent pyrazole containing fragment hit was identified and confirmed by its complex X-ray structure and the following biochemical assay result. Expansion on the fragment hit has led to further improvement of potency while maintaining high ligand efficiency, thus supporting the further development of this chemical series.
