An efficient process for the discovery of inhibitors of DDAH enzymes, without the requirement for high throughput screening, is described. Physicochemical filtering of a 308,000-compound library according to drug likeness followed by reciprocal nearest neighbour selection produced a representative subset of 35,000 compounds. Virtual screening on a dual processor PC using FlexX, followed by biological screening, identified two hit series. Similarity searches of commercial databases and chemical re-synthesis of pure compounds resulted in SR445 as an inhibitor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa DDAH at 2 mu M. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
