The discovery of carboline analogs as potent MAPKAP-K2 inhibitors
摘要:
The discovery of a series of potent, carboline-based MK2 inhibitors is described. These compounds inhibit MK2 with IC(50)s as low as 10 nM, as measured in a DELFIA assay. An X-ray crystal structure reveals that they bind in a region near the p-loop and the hinge region of MK2a. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The present invention relates to antibiotic compounds of formula (I), to compositions containing these compounds and to methods of treating bacterial diseases and infections using the compounds. The compounds find application in the treatment of infection with, and diseases caused by, Gram-positive and/or Gram-negative bacteria, and in particular in the treatment of infection with, and diseases caused by, Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
