Acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) is a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family (EC 3.2.1.14) that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of allergic airway disease such as asthma. Small molecule inhibitors of AMCase were identified using a combination of high-throughput screening, fragment screening, and virtual screening techniques and characterized by enzyme inhibition and NMR and Biacore binding experiments ...
