Abstract
Nature in silico: Virtual screening using validated pharmacophore models identified lichen depsides and depsidones as potential inhibitors of mPGES-1, an emerging target for NSAIDs. Evaluation of the virtual hits in a cell-free assay revealed physodic acid and perlatolic acid as potent inhibitors of mPGES-1 (IC(50) = 0.4 and 0.43 μM, respectively), indicating that these natural products have potential as novel anti-inflammatory agents.Entities:
