IDENTIFICATION OF A BURIED POCKET FOR POTENT AND SELECTIVE INHIBITION OF CHK1: PREDICTION AND VERIFICATION

OverviewOverview

Inhibition of the Chk1 kinase by small molecules binding to its active, site is a strategy of great therapeutic interest for oncology. We report, how computational modelling predicted the binding mode of ligands of, special interest to the Chk1 ATP site, for representatives of an indazole, series and debromohymenialdisine. These binding modes were subsequently, confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The binding mode of a potent indazole, derivative involves non-conventional C-H...O and N-H...pi-aromatic, interactions with the protein. These interactions are formed in a buried, pocket at the periphery of the ATP-binding site, the importance of which, has previously been overlooked for ligand design against Chk1. It is, demonstrated that filling this pocket can confer ligands with ... [(full description)]
