Title: Pharmacophoric features of Pseudomonas aeruginosa deacetylase LpxC inhibitors: an electronic and structural analysis.

Authors: Kadam RU, Chavan A, Roy N, Roy N.

Abstract: Various electronic properties of structurally diverse synthetic LpxC inhibitors containing oxazoline, aroylserine and thiazoline rings were calculated and correlated with biological activity. These electronic features include the magnitude and locations of 3-dimensional molecular electrostatic potentials, hydrogen bond acceptor/donor density, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, and highest occupied molecular orbital. Strong correlation of these stereo-electronic properties with LpxC inhibitory potency reveals the potential pharmacophoric features of specific LpxC inhibitors. Thus, these pharmacophoric features of LpxC inhibitors based on electronic and surface analysis could be successfully exploited for designing more potent LpxC inhibitors.
