NMT-IN-1 is a Trypanosoma brucei N-myristoyltransferase (TbNMT) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 31 µM against TbNMT and an IC50 of 66 µM against hNMT. As a thiazolidinone hit compound identified via virtual screening, NMT-IN-1 exerts enzymatic inhibitory effects by binding to the active site of TbNMT. NMT-IN-1 adopts a binding mode distinct from that of pyrazole sulfonamide inhibitors and can inhibit the myristoyl transfer reaction catalyzed by TbNMT. NMT-IN-1 is mainly used in the research of anti-parasitic lead compounds for human African trypanosomiasis (African sleeping sickness). It provides a structural basis for the subsequent optimization of TbNMT inhibitors with high activity, high selectivity and blood-brain barrier permeability.[1]
