Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT; EC 2.4.2.8) is a central enzyme in the purine recycling pathway of all protozoan parasites. Protozoan parasites cannot synthesize purine bases (DNA/RNA) which is essential for survival as lack of de-novo pathway. Thus its good target for drug design and discovery as inhibition leads to cessation of replication. PRTase (transferase enzyme) has common PRTase type I folding pattern domain for its activities. Genomic studies revealed the sequence pattern and identified highly conserved residues that catalyzed the reaction in protozoan parasites. A recombinant protein has 24kDa molecular mass (rLdHGPRT) was cloned, expressed and purified for testing of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) analogous compounds in-vitro by spectroscopically to the rLdHGPRT, lysates protein and MTT assay on Leishmania donovani. The predicted inhibitors of different libraries were screen into FlexX. The reported inhibitors were tested in-vitro. The 2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-diphosphate (DGD) (IC50 value 12.5μM) is two times more effective when compared to guanosine-5′-diphosphate sodium (GD). Interestingly, LdHGPRT complex has shown stable after 24ns in molecular dynamics simulation with interacting amino acids are Glu125, Ile127, Lys87 and Val186. QSAR studies revealed the correlation between predicted and experimental values has shown R2 0.998. Concludes that inversely proportional to their docked score with activities.
