We describe the first discovery of small molecules that bind to the Z-DNA binding domain of human ADAR1 (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA 1) by structure-based virtual screening of chemical database. These molecules bind to Z-DNA binding domain to inhibit the interaction with the Z-DNA. Many viruses have Z-DNA binding proteins, which are structurally similar to Z-DNA binding domain of human ADAR1, and the ability of Z-DNA binding protein to bind the Z-DNA is essential for their pathogenicity. Therefore, the molecules identified in this study may serve as novel leads for the design of agents that inhibit biological functions of those pathogenic viruses.
