Identification of new p300 histone acetyltransferase inhibitors from natural products by a customized virtual screening method†
Abstract
Herein, we sought to discover new p300 HAT inhibitors from natural products by a customized structure-based virtual screening method. The natural compounds NP-2 (spinosine), NP-3 (palmatine), NP-9 (venenatine), and NP-15 (taxodione) were found to be potent p300 HAT inhibitors, of which IC50 values are 0.69 μM, 1.05 μM, 0.58 μM, 4.85 μM, respectively.
