Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR), a critical enzyme in type II fatty acid biosynthesis, is a promising target for drug discovery against hepatocyte-stage Plasmodium falciparum. In order to identifyPfENR-specific inhibitors, we docked 70 FDA-approved, bioactive, and/or natural product small molecules known to inhibit the growth of whole-cell blood-stageP. falciparuminto severalPfENR crystallographic structures. Subsequent in vitro activity assays identified a noncompetitive low-micromolarPfENR inhibitor, celastrol, from this set of compounds.
