Combination of drugs for multiple targets has been a standard treatment in treating various diseases. A single chemical entity that acts upon multiple targets is emerging nowadays because of their predictable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. We have employed a computer-aided methodology combining molecular docking and pharmacophore filtering to identify chemical compounds that can simultaneously inhibit the human leukotriene hydrolase (hLTA4H) and the human leukotriene C4 synthase (hLTC4S) enzymes. These enzymes are the members of arachidonic acid pathway and act upon the same substrate, LTA4, producing different inflammatory products. A huge set of 4966 druglike compounds from the Maybridge database were docked into the active site of hLTA4H using the GOLD program. Common feature pharmacophore models were developed from the known inhibitors of both the targets using Accelrys Discovery Studio 2.5. The hits from the hLTA4H docking were filtered to match the chemical features of both the pharmacophore models. The compounds that resulted from the pharmacophore filtering were docked into the active site of hLTC4S and the hits those bind well at both the active sites and matched the pharmacophore models were identified as possible dual inhibitors for hLTA4H and hLTC4S enzymes. Reverse validation was performed to ensure the results of the study.
