Pyrimidine-based inhibitors of CaMKIIdelta

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Apr 1;18(7):2404-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.02.056. Epub 2008 Mar 4.

Abstract

Non-ATP competitive pyrimidine-based inhibitors of CaMKIIdelta were identified. Computational studies were enlisted to predict the probable mode of binding. The results of the computational studies led to the design of ATP competitive inhibitors with optimized hinge interactions. Inhibitors of this class possessed improved enzyme and cellular activity compared to early leads.
