Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2019 Jul 15;29(14):1746-1748. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2019.05.021. Epub 2019 May 14.

Abstract

Structure based virtual screening attempts to discover DUSP1 inhibitors have yielded a scaffold featuring benzoxazole and acylthiourea pharmacophore. A series of its analogues were synthesized to explore structure activity relationship (SAR) of DUSP1 inhibition.

Keywords: Cancer; Dual specificity phosphatase; Enzyme inhibition; Mitogen-activated protein kinase; Structure activity relationship.
