Examining the Influence of Specificity Ligands and ATP-Competitive Ligands on the Overall Effectiveness of Bivalent Kinase Inhibitors

Examining the Influence of Specificity Ligands and ATP-Competitive Ligands on the Overall Effectiveness of Bivalent Kinase Inhibitors

Abstract

Identifying selective kinase inhibitors remains a major challenge. The design of bivalent inhibitors provides a rational strategy for accessing potent and selective inhibitors. While bivalent kinase inhibitors have been successfully designed, no comprehensive assessment of affinity and selectivity for a series of bivalent inhibitors has been performed. Here, we present an evaluation of the structure activity relationship for bivalent kinase inhibitors targeting ABL1.
