  • Patent number: 7202265
    Abstract: The present invention relates to organic molecules capable of modulating, regulating and/or inhibiting protein kinase signal transduction. Such compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases related to unregulated protein kinase signal transduction, including cell proliferative diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis and restenosis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. The present invention features indolinone compounds that potently inhibit protein kinases and related products and methods. Inhibitors specific to the FLK protein kinase can be obtained by adding chemical substituents to the 3-[(indole-3-yl)methylene]-2-indolinone, in particular at the 1? position of the indole ring. Indolinone compounds that specifically inhibit the FLK and platelet derived growth factor protein kinases can harbor a tetrahydroindole or cyclopentano-b-pyrrol moiety.

  • Publication number: 20040171062
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of designing ligands that specifically bind to target molecules by testing a set of distinct compounds to identify compound that bind to member of a molecular family of interest. Those compounds that show binding activity can be used as a starting point for ligand design. Unlike previous methods, even compounds that bind with only low affinity are of interest and can be used. Common chemical structures of binding molecules including low affinity binding molecules are identified, thereby providing molecular scaffolds. Co-crystals of the protein and the molecular scaffolds can be formed and analyzed by X-ray crystallography to determine the orientation of the scaffold compounds at the binding site of the molecule.
