  • Patent number: 10905769
    Abstract: The description provides novel compounds that may serve as anticancer therapeutics. The compounds of the description bind to polo-like kinases through the polo-box domain. The peptide derivatives of the description have achieved improved efficacy in biochemical assays against Plk1. Exemplary compounds of the description include macrocyclic peptidomimetics with high affinity and selectivity for polo-like kinases, which may provide the basis for a new genre of anticancer therapeutics. Other exemplary compounds of the description include bi-valent compounds with that bind to polo-like kinases through both kinase domain and polo-box domain simultaneously by incorporating additional moieties that target Plk1 kinase domain, which significantly enhances affinitity relative and may provide the basis for a new genre of anticancer therapeutics. The description also provides methods of use, methods of preparation, compositions, and kits thereof.

  • Patent number: 10047122
    Abstract: The invention provides novel compounds that may serve as anticancer therapeutics. The compounds of the invention bind to polo-like kinases through the polo-box domain. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention are POM-protected peptide derivatives. The use of cationic bis-alkyl his residues in combination with a mono POM-protected phophoryl group results in a peptide possessing an overall neutral charge. The peptide derivatives of the invention have achieved both good efficacy and an enhanced bioavailability. The invention also provides methods of use, compositions, and kits thereof. Further, the invention provides a novel method of design and/or synthesis of phosphoryl-derived peptide derivatives useful as therapeutic agents.
