Abstract:
Current CML treatments often suffer from undesired side effects. Herein we report the computation-assisted optimization of Bcr-Abl/C-Src dual kinase inhibitor. We surmised the improved toxicity profile was achieved via disrupted ligand-target binding. The development of compound 21b highlighted our strategy with ∼1000-fold weaker Bcr-Abl/C-Src inhibition but same level of antiproliferation compared to that of bosutinib. We demonstrated that the introduction of acryloyl group could serves as a potential strategy to maintain antitumor activity.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
