PDK1 is pivotal in the development and progression of several cancers. A 3D pharmacophore was developed for pyrazole derivatives displaying anti-proliferative activity and PDK1 inhibition. The pharmacophore was utilized in the design of benzimidazole analogs. Our preliminary results indicate the pharmacophore should be useful in designing PDK1 inhibitors and anti-proliferative agents.
丙酮酸脱氢酶激酶1(PDK1)在多种癌症的发生和发展过程中起关键作用。针对具有抗增殖活性和PDK1抑制作用的吡唑衍生物开发了一种三维药效团。该药效团被用于苯并咪唑类似物的设计。我们的初步结果表明,该药效团在设计PDK1抑制剂和抗增殖剂方面应具有实用性。
