Abstract

We have identified benzoxazole benzenesulfonamide 1 as a novel allosteric inhibitor of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-1). X-ray crystallographic and biological studies of 1 indicate a distinct binding mode that recapitulates features of several previously reported FBPase-1 inhibitor classes.
