Abstract :
Probing with tool molecules, and by modeling and X-ray crystallography the binding modes of two structurally distinct series of DPP-4 inhibitors led to the discovery of a rare aromatic fluorine H-bond and the spatial requirement for better biaryl binding in the DPP-4 enzyme active site. These newly found binding elements were successfully incorporated into novel DPP-4 inhibitors.
