Novel compounds that have been found effective in inhibiting PDZ domain interactions, and particularly interactions of PDZ domains in MAGIs with the oncogenic (tumor suppressor) protein PTEN and interactions between the PDZ domain in the Dishevelled (Dvl) protein and other proteins such as the Frizzled (Fz) protein, have the general formula
The invention also includes combinatorial libraries, arrays and methods for screening and studying proteins using such compounds. Compounds of the invention have produced apoptosis in certain cell lines that overexpress the Dishevelled protein (Dvl); inhibiting Wnt signaling.
已发现的新型化合物可有效抑制PDZ结构域相互作用,特别是MAGIs中的PDZ结构域与肿瘤抑制蛋白PTEN之间的相互作用,以及Dishevelled(Dvl)蛋白中的PDZ结构域与其他蛋白如Frizzled(Fz)蛋白之间的相互作用,其一般公式如下。该发明还包括用这些化合物进行筛选和研究蛋白的组合库、阵列和方法。该发明的化合物已在过度表达Dishevelled蛋白(Dvl)的某些细胞系中诱导细胞凋亡;抑制Wnt信号传导。
