Key Questions Towards Designing Inhibitors Is TS conformation same in all members of a family? Effect of cationic character on TS? Conformation of ring before and during TS? Role of O-H in stabilization? Stereo-electronic requirements at this bond?

Summary Glycosyl hydrolases are catabolic enzymes that participate in key life processes. They can be targeted towards therapeutic applications and is currently oseltamivir and zanamivir are being used for treatment of influenza. Low oral-availability, rapid excretion and resistance need better understanding of mechanism for better drugs. Their mechanisms can be classified mainly into retaining and inverting. Aside from a few families, most utilize aspartate and glutamate residues for hydrolysis. Transition state mimics have been designed to identify better inhibitors. Better analogs of influenza drugs like laninamivir have developed as a result of better understanding of active sites of enzymes.
Challenges Inhibitors currently developed need to be modified to accommodate mutational changes. Transition state mimics of glycosidases with alternate mechanisms like NAD dependence still unexplored. K i values for TS analogs are 10-9 or 10-10 M but theoretically can be upto 10-22 M.
Future Directions Strong Inhibitors of Family 33 sialidases Replace with silyl group More affinity and covalent binding to phenol R= hydrophobic group like alkyl chain or aromatic ring
