• PubMed Abstract: 
  

Therapeutic agents brequinar sodium and leflunomide (Arava) work by binding in a hydrophobic tunnel formed by a highly variable N-terminus of family 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). The X-ray crystallographic structure of an analog of brequinar bound to human DHODH was determined. In silico screening of a library of compounds suggested another subset of brequinar analogs that do not inhibit human DHODH as potentially effective inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum DHODH.
