Docking and pharmacophore screening tools were used to examine the binding of ligands in the active site of thymidine monophosphate kinase of Mycobacterium. tuberculosis. Docking analysis of deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP) analogues suggests the role of hydrogen bonding and other weak interactions in enzyme selectivity. Water-mediated hydrogen-bond networks and a halogen-bond interaction seem to stabilize the molecular recognition. A pharmacophore model was developed using 20 dTMP analogues. The pharinacophoric features were complementary to the active site residues involved in the ligand recognition. On the basis of these studies, a composite screening model that combines the features from both the docking analysis and the pharmacophore model was developed. The composite model was validated by screening a database spiked with 47 known inhibitors. The model picked up 42 of these, giving an enrichment factor of 17. The validated model was used to successfully screen an in-house database of about 500 000 compounds. Subsequent screening with other filters gave 186 hit molecules.
