While LDHA has been extensively studied as a therapeutic target, particularly in cancer, due to its role in the Warburg effect, LDHB remains underexplored, despite its involvement in the metabolic reprogramming of specific cancer types, including breast and lung cancers. Most known LDH inhibitors are designed against the LDHA isoform and act competitively at the active site. In contrast, LDHB exhibits distinct kinetic properties, substrate preferences, and structural features, warranting isoform-specific screening strategies. In this study, 115 natural compounds previously reported as LDHA inhibitors were systematically evaluated for LDHB inhibition using an integrated in silico and in vitro approach. Virtual screening identified 16 lead phytochemicals, among which luteolin and quercetin exhibited uncompetitive inhibition of LDHB, as demonstrated by enzyme kinetic assays. These findings were strongly supported by molecular docking analyses, which revealed that both compounds bind at an allosteric site located at the dimer interface, closely resembling the binding mode of the established LDHB uncompetitive inhibitor AXKO-0046. In contrast, comparative docking against LDHA confirmed their active-site binding and competitive inhibition, underscoring their isoform-specific behavior. Our findings highlight the necessity of assay conditions tailored to LDHB\u2019s physiological role and demonstrate the application of a previously validated colorimetric assay for high-throughput screening. This work lays the foundation for the rational design of selective LDHB inhibitors from natural product libraries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules30142923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,11]],"date-time":"2025-07-11T08:15:47Z","timestamp":1752221747000},"page":"2923","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Flipping the Target: Evaluating Natural LDHA Inhibitors for Selective LDHB Modulation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Amanda","family":"El Khoury","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, School of Life and Health Sciences, University of Nicosia, 2417 Nicosia, Cyprus"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4045-8839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christos","family":"Papaneophytou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, School of Life and Health Sciences, University of Nicosia, 2417 Nicosia, Cyprus"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Farhana, A., and Lappin, S.L.
