Objective: Endometrial cancer is one of the few cancers for which mortality is still increasing. A lack of treatment options remains a major challenge, particularly for some subtypes of the disease. GZD824, also known as olverembatinib, is a multi-kinase inhibitor previously investigated in clinical trials for chronic myeloid leukaemia and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukaemia as a BCR-ABL inhibitor.

Mirror-image proteins, composed of D-amino acids, are an attractive therapeutic modality, as they exhibit high metabolic stability and lack immunogenicity. Development of mirror-image binding proteins is achieved through chemical synthesis of D-target proteins, phage display library selection of L-binders and chemical synthesis of (mirror-image) D-binders that consequently bind the physiological L-targets. Monobodies are well-established synthetic (L-)binding proteins and their small size (~90 residues) and lack of endogenous cysteine residues make them particularly accessible to chemical synthesis.

Introduction: Advances in the early detection and treatment of cancer have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with cancer. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective targeted treatments for various malignancies that act by inhibiting kinase activity. Although these drugs share a common mechanism of action, they differ in their targeted kinases, pharmacokinetics, and side effects.

The application of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionized the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, disease relapse and progression particularly due to persistent leukemia stem cells (LSCs) remain a big challenge in the clinic. Therefore, validation of the therapeutic vulnerability in LSCs is urgently needed.

The BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase which is responsible for the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. To address this issue, we employed a comprehensive computational approach integrating virtual screening, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and MM-GBSA (Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area) analysis to identify potential inhibitors and elucidate their binding mechanisms. Initially, virtual screening was conducted on 994 compounds from the ZINC database and, these compounds were docked against wildtype and T315I mutant ABL1 for the Type I and Type II ABL1 kinase inhibition mechanisms.
