Abstract

Activity-based profiling and reporter-group-tagged compounds were used to identify carboxylesterase-1 (CE-1) as a specific target of the natural product (-)-FR182877 (see scheme). Now that a target is known, specific modification of the lactone natural product may lead to even more effective inhibitors of CE-1.
