The worldwide emergence and dissemination of gene blaNDM-1 (produces NDM-1) in hospital and community settings, rising problems for public health. Indeed, there is an urgent need for NDM-1 inhibitors to manage antibiotic resistance. Here, we have identified novel non-\u03b2-lactam ring-containing inhibitors of NDM-1 by applying a high-throughput virtual screening of lead-like subset of ZINC database. The screened compounds were followed for the molecular docking, the molecular dynamics simulation, and then enzyme kinetics assessment. The adopted screening procedure funnels out five novel inhibitors of NDM-1 including ZINC10936382, ZINC30479078, ZINC41493045, ZINC7424911, and ZINC84525623. The molecular mechanics-generalized born surface area and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation showed that ZINC84525623 formed the most stable complex with NDM-1. Furthermore, analyses of the binding pose after MD simulation revealed that ZINC84525623 formed two hydrogen bonds (electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction) with key amino acid residues of the NDM-1 active site. The docking binding free energy and docking binding constant for the ZINC84525623 and NDM-1 interaction were estimated to be \u221211.234 kcal\/mol, and 1.74 \u00d7 108 M\u22121 respectively. Steady-state enzyme kinetics in the presence of ZINC84525623 show the decreased catalytic efficiency (i.e., kcat\/Km) of NDM-1 on various antibiotics. The findings of this study would be helpful in identifying novel inhibitors against other \u03b2-lactamases from a pool of large databases. Furthermore, the identified inhibitor (ZINC84525623) could be developed as efficient drug candidates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20040819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,14]],"date-time":"2019-02-14T11:54:13Z","timestamp":1550145253000},"page":"819","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":84,"title":["High-Throughput Virtual Screening, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, and Enzyme Kinetics Identified ZINC84525623 as a Potential Inhibitor of NDM-1"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2341-900X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Tabish","family":"Rehman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed F","family":"AlAjmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Afzal","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gulam Mohmad","family":"Rather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2341-900X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meraj A","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Translational Medicine, Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON M5G 0A4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2013.00048","article-title":"\u201cStormy waters ahead\u201d: Global emergence of carbapenemases","volume":"4","author":"Patel","year":"2013","journal-title":"Front.
