Virtual design of novel Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain-2 hybrid lactone–chalcone and isatin–chalcone inhibitors probing the S2 active site pocket

We report computer-aided design of new lactone–chalcone and isatin–chalcone (HLCIC) inhibitors of the falcipain-2 (PfFP-2). 3D models of 15 FP-2:HLCIC1-15 complexes with known observed activity (IC50exp) were prepared to establish a quantitative structure–activity (QSAR) model and linear correlation...
