Background: Idelalisib is a PI3Kδ inhibitor used to treat hematological malignancies.Results: Idelalisib is selective, noncovalent, reversible, and ATP-competitive.Conclusion: The crystal structure helps explain the potency and selectivity of idelalisib. The biophysical and biochemical data clarify the details of the inhibitor's interactions with PI3Kδ.Significance: Its use in humans makes it important to understand how idelalisib inhibits PI3Kδ.
Pyrimidinol carboxylic acids were designed as inhibitors of HIV-1 RNase H function. These molecules can coordinate to two divalent metal ions in the RNase H active site. Inhibition of enzymatic activity was measured in a biochemical assay, but no antiviral effect was observed. Binding was demonstrated via a solid state structure of the isolated p15-Ec domain of HIV-1 RT showing inhibitor and two Mn(II) ions bound to the RNase H active site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
