Aim: 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) has attracted increasing attention as an important target against tyrosinemia type I. This paper aimed to explore the structure–activity relationship of HPPD inhibitors with pyrazole scaffolds and to design novel HPPD inhibitors. Methodology & results: The best 3D-quantitative structure–activity relationships model was established by two different strategies based on 40 pyrazole scaffold-based analogs. Screening of molecular fragments by topomer technology, combined with molecular docking, 14 structures were identified for potential human HPPD inhibitory activity. Molecular dynamics results demonstrated that all the compounds obtained bound to the enzyme and possessed a satisfactory binding free energy. Conclusion: The quantitative structure–activity relationship of HPPD inhibitors of pyrazole scaffolds was clarified and 14 original structures with potential human HPPD inhibitory activity were obtained.
