Identification of a 2,4-diaminopyrimidine scaffold targeting Trypanosoma brucei pteridine reductase 1 from the LIBRA compound library screening campaign
The LIBRA compoundlibrary is a collection of 522 non-commercial molecules contributed by various Italian academic laboratories. These compounds have been designed and synthesized during different medicinalchemistry programs and are hosted by the Italian Institute of Technology. We report the screening of the LIBRA compoundlibrary against Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania major pteridine reductase
order to explore the potential binding mode of the novelinhibitors. As the receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR2 recently gained an increasing interest as an upregulated signaling kinase in many solid tumors and in tumor metastasis we determined the affinity of our compounds to inhibit VEGFR2. So we identified novel dually acting EGFR and VEGFR2 inhibitors for which first anticancer screening data are reported
