Therefore, it is quite evident that multiple pharmacophore- based virtual screening experiments merged with molecular docking studies are very competent tools for the identification of diverse hits in the drug discovery process. Autodock result signified that all the four hit compounds had scored similar or better binding energy values compared to the most 410536-97-9 active compound in the training set thus validating the output of GOLD docking program. In order to further validate final hit compounds, two more crystal structures of chymase deposited in protein data bank labeled as 1T31 and 2HVX were used for AutoDock validation. The resultant binding energies of hits with these structures also showed better or equal values compared to the binding energies of experimentally known potent chymase inhibitors present in the training set. To further validate our inhibition strategy, the synthetic accessibility of the final four hits was also measured using SYLVIA 1.0 program. The 2D chemical structures of four hit compounds KM09155, HTS00581, HTS05891, and Compound1192 which were selected from the multiple pharmacophore-based screening and molecular docking studies, are illustrated in Figure 10. For all three crystal structures of chymase, the GOLD fitness score and the calculated binding energy values of final hits are given in Table 5. Moreover, the orientation and important interactions of the final hits with the key residues within the active site of chymase are shown in Figure 11. The analysis for binding mode of final hits within the active site region of enzyme is presented below. This hit compound revealed very high GOLD fitness scores for all three crystal structures of chymase as compared to other three hits. KM09155 with maximum GOLD fitness score of 77.533 and minimum binding energy of 26.88 kcal/mol established a network of interactions with key amino acids like Ser195, Lys192, Ser214, and Gly216. The sulfur atom of the N-phenyl- 2-sulfanylacetamide chemical moiety in KM09155 formed nonbonded electrostatic interaction with the carbonyl oxygen atom of Ser195. Carbonyl oxygen of N-phenyl-2-s
