Besides, the compounds studied until nowadays are showed, which are grouped taking into account its origin: naturals, synthetics and drug with other therapeutic uses, discovered with inhibitory activity against the enzyme. Finally the last advances in the cheminformatic and molecular modeling field related with the study of the enzyme and its inhibitors are discussed.
