As shown in Fig. 4A, compounds 8c and 9c presented a set ofinteractions similar to febuxostat. As expected, the pyrimidine ringas a whole was sandwiched between Phe914 and Phe1009 via faceto-face and face-to-edge pi-stacking interactions, respectively. Inaddition, the carbonyl group of the pyrimidine formed twohydrogen bonds with Thr1010, which was similar to the 1-hydroxylgroup of the imidazole compound 5b [13], the nitrogen atom of thepyrimidine forming a hydrogen bond with Glu802 and the cyanogroup of the phenyl unit forming a hydrogen bond with Asn768 andLys771, and several hydrophobic interactions with Leu648, Phe649,Leu873, Val1011 and Leu1014 were also observed at the hydrophobic pocket. Moreover, we found that the methyl group at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring was located on a hydrophilic surface(Fig. 4A), and the presence of a methyl group may adversely affectthe activity. This observation explained the decrease in activitiesafter adding the methyl group at the 4-position of the pyrimidinering.
