The three-dimensional structure of the ZnT protein was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 8J7U). A Ligand search was conducted on the Zinc20 Database , and approximately 5200 compounds were enlisted for virtual screening. The following are the Zinc Database Tranches settings that were used: (1) only 3D models were selected; (2) in the reactivity section, "Standard" and "Exclusive" were chosen; (3) in purchasability, "In-Stock" and "Exclusive" options were selected; (4) Reference (R) pH was chosen; (5) Charge: "0"; and (6) "Lead-Like" compounds were selected. Further selection of ligands was based on LogP values, as most pharmaceutical compounds have a two. Since compounds with logP = 2 values are good for oral and intestinal absorption, only these compounds were further taken for virtual screening, bringing the count to 12,147 compounds. Finally, the compounds were downloaded in pdbqt file format using the cURL download method. These files were further processed using in-house Perl scripts.
