Abstract
Results of the modelling of thiosemicarbazone-based inhibitors of ES suggest that these compounds interact with the calcium ion whilst undergoing hydrogen bonding interaction with the active site - the extent of H-bonding determining the overall inhibitory activity. Novel inhibitors were designed, synthesised and evaluated and found to possess potent inhibitory activity.
