Pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one metabolism mediated by aldehyde oxidase is blocked by C2-substitution.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-09-01)
1. We have previously described C8-substituted pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives as cell permeable inhibitors of the KDM4 and KDM5 subfamilies of JmjC histone lysine demethylases. 2. Although exemplar compound ...
Structure-based drug design: aiming for a perfect fit.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2017-11-08)
Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of therapeutically relevant targets has informed drug discovery since the first protein structures were determined using X-ray crystallography in the 1950s and 1960s. In this ...
Novel Quinazolinone Inhibitors of ALK2 Flip between Alternate Binding Modes: Structure-Activity Relationship, Structural Characterization, Kinase Profiling, and Cellular Proof of Concept.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-08-23)
Structure-activity relationship and crystallographic data revealed that quinazolinone-containing fragments flip between two distinct modes of binding to activin receptor-like kinase-2 (ALK2). We explored both binding modes ...
The discovery of potent ribosomal S6 kinase inhibitors by high-throughput screening and structure-guided drug design.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2013-08-25)
The ribosomal P70 S6 kinases play a crucial role in PI3K/mTOR regulated signalling pathways and are therefore potential targets for the treatment of a variety of diseases including diabetes and cancer. In this study we ...
Discovery of a potent stapled helix peptide that binds to the 70N domain of replication protein A.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2014-03-27)
Stapled helix peptides can serve as useful tools for inhibiting protein-protein interactions but can be difficult to optimize for affinity. Here we describe the discovery and optimization of a stapled helix peptide that ...
Molecular mechanisms of human IRE1 activation through dimerization and ligand binding.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2015-05-30)
IRE1 transduces the unfolded protein response by splicing XBP1 through its C-terminal cytoplasmic kinase-RNase region. IRE1 autophosphorylation is coupled to RNase activity through formation of a back-to-back dimer, although ...
Targeting secondary protein complexes in drug discovery: studying the druggability and chemical biology of the HSP70/BAG1 complex.
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2017-05-04)
Proteins typically carry out their biological functions as multi-protein complexes, which can significantly affect the affinity of small-molecule inhibitors. HSP70 is an important target in oncology, so to study its chemical ...
Molecular basis of APC/C regulation by the spindle assembly checkpoint.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-08-25)
In the dividing eukaryotic cell, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) ensures that each daughter cell inherits an identical set of chromosomes. The SAC coordinates the correct attachment of sister chromatid kinetochores ...
Tankyrase Requires SAM Domain-Dependent Polymerization to Support Wnt-β-Catenin Signaling.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-08-04)
The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) Tankyrase (TNKS and TNKS2) is paramount to Wnt-β-catenin signaling and a promising therapeutic target in Wnt-dependent cancers. The pool of active β-catenin is normally limited by ...
