c-AMP Dependent Protein Kinase (PKA) Targeted Library

Protein kinases have been demonstrated to play a crucial role in cell signaling. Their potential for drug targeting and clinical significance have made them a prime focus for treating severe diseases, particularly cancer. One of these ubiquitous enzymes, protein kinase A (PKA), also known as c-AMP Dependent Protein Kinase, regulates numerous processes like cell growth, development, metabolism, and gene expression. In addition, it was found that disruption or mutation of PKA can lead to high-risk health conditions.

Notably, due to its consistent production through recombinant expression, stability, and crystallization ability, PKA has become a pivotal tool in the study of protein kinases. Also, recently, this enzyme has drawn attention as a diagnostic biomarker. Its overexpression and presence in blood plasma have been linked to various forms of cancer [1]. However, the essential nature of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cellular processes makes PKA an ‘anti-target’ for most protein kinase inhibition strategies [2]. In view of this, to better comprehend the functioning of cAMP, further efforts must be taken to investigate potent and selective protein kinase A inhibitors.

In its search for effective fact-finding tools, our cheminformatics team has developed a new Docking Library comprising over 2,200 small-molecule compounds. This Screening Set employs docking-based techniques against the catalytic alpha subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Compound selection

High-throughput virtual screening and molecular fitting were performed on two protein structures 1XH6, 3MVJ against the Life Chemicals HTS Compound Collection. The compound selection was refined using in-house MedChem filters to remove PAIN and toxic and reactive molecules, resulting in over 2,200 drug-like screening compounds.

Key features:

  • Method: high-throughput virtual screening (docking), molecular fitting
  • X-ray data used: 1XH6, 3MVJ
  • Constraints: H-bonds (Val123, Thr183, and Glu121)
  • Filters used: PAINS, toxic, reactive
  • Number of compounds selected: 2,240

The compound selection can be customized based on your requirements, cherry picking is available.
