Abstract:Background: Clonorchis sinensis requires bile acid transporters as this fluke inhabits bile juice-filled biliary ducts, which provide an extreme environment. C. sinensis sodium-bile acid co-transporter (CsSBAT) is indispensable for survival in the final host, as it circulates taurocholate and prevents bile toxicity in the fluke; hence, it is recognized as a useful drug target.Results: In the present study, using structure-based drug discovery approach, we presented inhibitor candidates targeting a bile acid-bi… Show more
