Abstract:
New dequalinium analogues and related heteroaromatic systems were synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of protein kinase Calpha. In vitro assays with recombinant human PKCalpha showed that the number of the aromatic ring head groups as well as their electron-richness, are critical factors that determine potency. The inhibitory strengths of the synthesized compounds are shown to correlate well with Mulliken charges on the head group ring nitrogen atoms making it possible to design likely candidate molecules having improved protein kinase Calpha inhibitory activity.

Indirect-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Mechanism of Action
Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex, leading to...
