Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) plays a key role in type II diabetes and Alzheimer's diseases, to which non-ATP competitive inhibitors represent an effectively therapeutical approach due to their good specificity. Herein, a series of small molecules benzothiazepinones (BTZs) as novel non-ATP competitive inhibitors of GSK-3β have been designed and synthesized. The in vitro evaluation performed by luminescent assay showed most BTZ derivatives have inhibitory effects in micromolar scale. Among them compounds 6l, 6t and 6v have the IC50 values of 25.0 μM, 27.8 μM and 23.0 μM, respectively. Moreover 6v is devoid of any inhibitory activity in the assays to other thirteen protein kinases. Besides, SAR is analyzed and a hypothetical enzymatic binding mode is proposed by molecular docking study, which would be useful for new candidates design.

The mitotic kinase Aurora A, a pivotal regulator of the cell cycle, is overexpressed in various cancers and has emerged as one of the most promising targets for anticancer drug discovery. However, the lack of specificity and potential toxicity have impeded clinical trials involving orthosteric inhibitors. In this study, allosteric sites of Aurora A were predicted using the AlloReverse web server.

Open access to three-dimensional atomic-level biostructure information from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) facilitated discovery/development of 100% of the 34 new low molecular weight, protein-targeted, antineoplastic agents approved by the US FDA 2019-2023. Analyses of PDB holdings, the scientific literature, and related documents for each drug-target combination revealed that the impact of structural biologists and public-domain 3D biostructure data was broad and substantial, ranging from understanding target biology (100% of all drug targets), to identifying a given target as likely druggable (100% of all targets), to structure-guided drug discovery (>80% of all new small-molecule drugs, made up of 50% confirmed and >30% probable cases). In addition to aggregate impact assessments, illustrative case studies are presented for six first-in-class small-molecule anti-cancer drugs, including a selective inhibitor of nuclear export targeting Exportin 1 (selinexor, Xpovio), an ATP-competitive CSF-1R receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (pexidartinib,Turalia), a non-ATP-competitive inhibitor of the BCR-Abl fusion protein targeting the myristoyl binding pocket within the kinase catalytic domain of Abl (asciminib, Scemblix), a covalently-acting G12C KRAS inhibitor (sotorasib, Lumakras or Lumykras), an EZH2 methyltransferase inhibitor (tazemostat, Tazverik), and an agent targeting the basic-Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factor HIF-2α (belzutifan, Welireg).

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) remains a viable target for drug development since the discovery of the association of its mutations with Parkinson's disease (PD). G2019S (in the kinase domain) is the most common mutation for LRRK2-based PD. Though various types of inhibitors have been developed for the kinase domain to reduce the effect of the mutation, understanding the working of these inhibitors at the molecular level is still ongoing.

Despite recent FDA approvals, Alzheimer's disease (AD) still represents an unmet medical need. Among the different available therapeutic approaches, the development of multitarget molecules represents one of the most widely pursued. In this work, we present a second generation of dual ligands directed toward highly networked targets that are deeply involved in the development of the disease, namely, Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β (GSK-3β).

Secondary kinase domain mutations in BCR::ABL1 represent the most common cause of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. The first 5 approved BCR::ABL1 TKIs target the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding pocket. Mutations confer resistance to these ATP-competitive TKIs and those approved for other malignancies by decreasing TKI affinity and/or increasing ATP affinity.
