title: Discovery of novel inhibitors of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 by docking and pharmacophore modeling.
abstract: 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) is a potential target for treatment of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Docking and pharmacophore modeling have been used to discover novel inhibitors of 11beta-HSD1. Several compounds, with large structural diversity and good potency against 11beta-HSD1, have been found and their potency was determined by the enzyme assay. New scaffolds of 11beta-HSD1 inhibitors are also reported.
