Abstract

A general pharmachophore model for various types of Ser/Thr kinases was developed. Search for the molecules fitting to this pharmacophore among ASINEX proprietary library revealed a number of compounds, which were tested and appeared to possess some activity against several Ser/Thr kinases such as Aurora A, Aurora B and Haspin. The possibility of performing the fine-tuning of the general Ser/Thr pharmacophore to desired types of kinase to get active and selective inhibitors was exemplified by Aurora A kinase. As a result, several hits in 3-5 nm range of activity against Aurora A kinase with rather good selectivity and ADME properties were obtained.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
