ABSTRACT
Involved in the tyrosine degradation pathway, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is an important target for treating type I tyrosinemia. To discover novel HPPD inhibitors, we proposed a hydrophobicity-oriented drug design (HODD) strategy based on the interactions between HPPD and the commercial drug NTBC. Most of the new compounds showed improved activity, compound d23 being the most active candidate (IC50â¯=â¯0.047⯵M) with about 2-fold more potent than NTBC (IC50â¯=â¯0.085⯵M). Therefore, compound d23 is a potential drug candidate to treat type I tyrosinemia.
