Abstract:
Protein kinase inhibitors have applications as anti-cancer therapeutic agents and biological tools in cell signalling. Potent and selective bisubstrate inhibitors for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase are based on a phosphoryl transfer mechanism involving a dissociative transition state. One such inhibitor is synthesized by linking ATPγS to a peptide substrate analog via a two-carbon spacer. The compound is a high-affinity competitive inhibitor against both nucleotide and peptide substrate and shows a slow off-rate. A crystal structure of this inhibitor bound to the tyrosine kinase domain of the insulin receptor confirms the key design features inspired by a dissociative transition state, and reveal that the linker takes part in the octahedral coordination of an active site Mg2+ ion.
Abstract:
Peptide-based systems containing hydrophobic amino acids (e.g., tryptophan), charged amino acids (e.g., arginine), and/or sulfur-containing amino acids (e.g., cysteine), which can be used either alone or in combination with nanoparticles (e.g., gold or silver nanoparticles) for siRNA delivery into living cells are disclosed.
Abstract:
A bisubstrate inhibitor of Src kinases, having a nucleotide or N-heteroaromatic moiety; and a peptide/phosphopeptide, peptidomimetic, or phosphopeptide mimic moiety. The moieties are linked by a rigid or a flexible linker. The nucleotide or N-heteroaromatic moiety is ATP, ATP-mimics, N-heteroaromatics including purine-based derivatives, pyrimidine-based derivatives such as 2,4-diamino-5-substituted pyrimidine derivatives, pyrazole[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives, pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, amino-substituted dihydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidinone derivatives, thieno- and furo-substituted derivatives, quinazoline derivatives, and quinoline derivatives, and several natural products such as aminogenistein. The phosphopeptide mimics comprise phosphonate-based phosphotyrosine mimetics such as phosphonomethylphenylalanine (Pmp) and its analogues, carboxylic acid-based phosphotyrosine mimetics such as malonyltyrosine or phenylalanine analogues and their derivatives such as carboxymethyl phenylalanine, uncharged pTyr mimetics, and confonnationally constrained peptides. The phosphopeptide or phosphopeptide mimics inhibits the Src kinases SH2 domain.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to fatty acid and fatty alcohol substituted nucleoside derivatives and nucleoside and nucleoside derivatives substituted on multivalent scaffolds (e.g., polymers, peptides, polycarboxylic acid substituted compounds, compounds containing polycycloSaligenyl groups) that display potent anti-HIV activity. Furthermore, they show enhanced activity against multi-drug resistant, R5, and cell-associated virus. Some of them also display activity against other sexually transmitted pathogens and sperm. The present invention provides their methods of synthesis, composition of matter, and methods of use. Emphasis is placed on their application as topical microbicides to treat or prevent sexual transmission of disease, especially HIV/AIDS.
