NMT1 and leishmaniasis: N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) is an important eukaryotic monomeric enzyme which has emerged as an attractive target for developing a drug for cancer, leishmaniasis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, malaria, inflammation, etc. In the present work, statistically robust machine leaning models (QSAR (Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship) approach) for Human NMT (Hs-NMT) inhibitory has been performed for a dataset of 309 Nitrogen heterocycles screened for NMT inhibitory activity.
