[EN] PHOSPHATE/SULFATE ESTER COMPOUNDS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR INHIBITING PROTEIN INTERACTING NIMA (PIN1) [FR] COMPOSES A BASE D'ESTERS DE SULFATE/PHOSPHATE ET COMPOSITIONS PHARMACEUTIQUES INHIBANT L'ACTIVITE DE NIMA INTERAGISSANT AVEC DES PROTEINES (PIN1)
Pin1 is a member of the cis-trans peptidyl-prolyl isomerase family with potential anti-cancer therapeutic value. Here we report structure-based de novo design and optimization of novel Pin1 inhibitors. Without a viable lead from internal screenings, we designed a series of novel Pin1 inhibitors by interrogating and exploring a protein crystal structure of Pin1. The ligand efficiency of the initial concept molecule was optimized with integrated SBDD and parallel chemistry approaches, resulting in a more attractive lead series. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
