We describe the assembly and annotation of a chemogenomic set of protein kinase inhibitors as an open science resource for studying kinase biology. The set only includes inhibitors that show potent kinase inhibition and a narrow spectrum of activity when screened across a large panel of kinase biochemical assays. Currently, the set contains 187 inhibitors that cover 215 human kinases. The kinase chemogenomic set (KCGS), current Version 1.0, is the most highly annotated set of selective kinase inhibitors available to researchers for use in cell-based screens.
CAMKK2 is a serine/threonine
kinase and an activator of AMPK whose
dysregulation is linked with multiple diseases. Unfortunately, STO-609,
the tool inhibitor commonly used to probe CAMKK2 signaling, has limitations.
To identify promising scaffolds as starting points for the development
of high-quality CAMKK2 chemical probes, we utilized a hinge-binding
scaffold hopping strategy to design new CAMKK2 inhibitors. Starting
from the potent but promiscuous disubstituted 7-azaindole GSK650934,
a total of 32 compounds, composed of single-ring, 5,6-, and 6,6-fused
heteroaromatic cores, were synthesized. The compound set was specifically
designed to probe interactions with the kinase hinge-binding residues.
Compared to GSK650394 and STO-609, 13 compounds displayed similar
or better CAMKK2 inhibitory potency
in vitro
, while
compounds
13g
and
45
had improved selectivity
for CAMKK2 across the kinome. Our systematic survey of hinge-binding
chemotypes identified several potent and selective inhibitors of CAMKK2
to serve as starting points for medicinal chemistry programs.
We present the discovery of thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine SGC-STK17B-1 (11s), a high-quality chemical probe for this understudied "dark" kinase. 11s is an ATP-competitive inhibitor that showed remarkable selectivity over other kinases including the closely related STK17A. X-ray crystallography of 11s and related thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines bound to STK17B revealed a unique P-loop conformation characterized by a salt bridge between R41 and the carboxylic acid of the inhibitor.

(Z) Enol triflates 6, 11b-d, (E) enol triflate 11e, and phenol triflate 11a, derived from β-keto esters or 2-carboalkoxy phenols, respectively, react with N-Boc 2-lithiopyrrolidine (5a), N-Boc N-methylaminomethyllithium (5b), or 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane (14) to afford 3(2H)-furanones in modest to good yields (38-81%). Product and carbanion reagent studies suggest that the 3(2H)-furanone is formed in a cascade of reactions involving nucleophilic acyl substitution, enolate formation, trifluoromethyl transfer, iminium or sulfenium ion formation, and subsequent ring closure to form the 3(2H)-furanone. The use of 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane affords a cyclic α-keto-S,S,O-orthoester in which the functionality can be selectively manipulated for synthetic applications.
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.
