Abstract
The purpose of the work was to identify novel inhibitors of the enzyme NQO2. Using computational molecular modelling, a QSAR (R2 = 0.88) was established, relating inhibitory potency with calculated binding affinity. From this, the imidazoacridin-6-one, NSC660841, was identified as the most potent inhibitor of NQO2 yet reported (IC50 = 6 nM). © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
