focussed kinase set of ∼3400 compounds to identify potent and parasite‐selective inhibitors of an enzymatic Leishmania CRK3–cyclin 6 complex. The aim of this study is to provide chemical validation that Leishmania CRK3–CYC6 is a drug target. Eight hit series were identified, of which four were followed up. The optimisation of these series using classical SAR studies afforded low‐nanomolar CRK3 inhibitors
迫切需要新药来治疗热带寄生虫病,例如利什曼病和非洲人类锥虫病 (HAT)。这项工作涉及对约 3400 种化合物的聚焦激酶组进行高通量筛选,以鉴定酶促利什曼原虫CRK3-细胞周期蛋白 6 复合物的有效和寄生虫选择性抑制剂。本研究的目的是提供化学验证,证明利什曼原虫CRK3–CYC6 是药物靶点。确定了八个热门系列,其中四个得到了跟进。使用经典 SAR 研究对这些系列进行优化,提供了比密切相关的人类细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶 CDK2 具有显着选择性的低纳摩尔 CRK3 抑制剂。
