The SPECS database was screened against falcipain-2 with two different docking methods to identify structurally diverse nonpeptidic inhibitors. Twenty-eight nonpeptidic molecules among 81 compounds tested were identified as potential inhibitors of falcipain-2, One of the inhibitors exhibited in vitro activity with an IC50 value of 2.4 mu M. Furthermore, the similarity analysis has demonstrated that it is feasible to find novel diverse falcipain-2 inhibitors with similar steric shape through virtual screening of large-scale chemical libraries.
