4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is an iron-dependent non-heme oxygenase involved in the catabolic pathway of tyrosine, which is an important enzyme in the transformation of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid to homogentisic acid, and thus being considered as herbicide target. Within this study, a set of multiple structure-based pharmacophore models for HPPD inhibitors were developed. The ZINC and natural product database were virtually screened, and 29 compounds were obtained. The binding mode of HPPD and its inhibitors obtained through molecular docking study showed that the residues of Phe424, Phe381, His308, His226, Gln307 and Glu394 were crucial for activity. Molecular-mechanics-generalized born surface area (MM/GBSA) results showed that the coulomb force, lipophilic and van der Waals (vdW) interactions made major contributions to the binding affinity. These efforts will greatly contribute to design novel and effective HPPD inhibitory herbicides.
