the deletion of the methoxy group fromthemethoxyphenylmoiety disrupts the hydrogenbondmadeby the methoxy oxygen. The reduction in potency by moving the amide from para to meta position in the pyridyl ring leads to an unfavourable interaction with the hydrophobic residues lining the binding pocket. The methoxy substitutions in the pyrimidyl ring at 19 and 29 positions decrease the potency by increasing the size of the moiety leading to steric clashes with surrounding residues, especially with Tyr0171. Similar effect can be seen when pyridyl group is replaced by a 1,3-benzodioxole. Modifications that include the deletion of the methoxyphenyl group inactivate the compound demonstrating also the importance of the hydrophobic interactions of the group for the activity of the compound. Modifications that reduce the size of the 1,8-naphthalimide moiety result in the inactivation of the compound, as does the substitution of 1,8-naphthalimide with a phthalimide group, possibly through the disruption of the stacking interaction with His1048 and a subsequent conformational change of the moiety disrupting the hydrogen bond to Asp1045. Both WIKI4 and IWR-1 bind to the adenosine site of TNKS2. Despite that both compounds were soaked to preformed crystals and induce the opening of the D-loop, they show completely different conformation of the loop. This indicates a large structural Epipinoresinol methyl ether plasticity of the loop. WIKI4 contains a flexible linker between the triazole and 1,8-naphthalimide Orexin 2 Receptor Agonist chemical information groups instead of the benzene ring found in IWR-1. IWR-1 forms two similar hydrogen bonds to the backbone amides of Asp1045 and Tyr1060 as WIKI4. Also His1048 in both structures stack with the compound. The norbornyl ring of IWR-1 does not extend as deeply towards the nicotinamide pocket as the pyridine ring in WIKI4. The binding of WIKI4 also does not result in the rotation of Tyr1071 interacting with the norbornyl moiety of IWR-1. IWR-1 does not extend towards the G-loop, and lacks the interactions made by the methoxyphenyl group of WIKI4 with the loop. WIKI4 and JW74 analog G007-LK both contain a core triazole moeity linking three groups together. However, the binding of G007-LK induces similar structural changes in the D-loop as the binding of IWR-1. The conformation of His1048, which allo
