Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) has been recognized as a potential target for anti-inflammation and anti-cancer therapy. In this paper, based on the binding pose of the reported compound (GLPG-3970, 3) with AlphaFold protein structure, a series of hinge cores were generated via AI-generative models (Chemistry42). After the molecular docking, synthesis, and biological evaluation, a hit molecule (7f) targeting
盐诱导激酶 2 (SIK2) 已被认为是抗炎和抗癌治疗的潜在靶点。在本文中,基于所报道的化合物(GLPG-3970, 3 )与AlphaFold蛋白质结构的结合姿势,通过AI生成模型(Chemistry42)生成了一系列铰链核心。经过分子对接、合成和生物学评价,通过新型支架获得了靶向SIK2的命中分子( 7f )。进一步的 SAR 探索发现了与报道的抑制剂相比,化合物8 g具有更优异的抗 SIK2 效力。此外,8 g还表现出优于其他 AMPK 激酶的优异选择性、良好的体外 ADMET 特性和良好的细胞活性。这项工作为发现新型选择性激酶抑制剂提供了另一种方法。
