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
