The identification of AF38469: an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the VPS10P family sorting receptor Sortilin

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Jan 1;24(1):177-80. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.11.046. Epub 2013 Nov 27.

Abstract

The identification of the novel, selective, orally bioavailable Sortilin inhibitor AF38469 is described. Structure-activity relationships and syntheses are reported, along with an X-ray crystal structure of the sortilin-AF38469 protein-inhibitor complex.

Keywords: AF38469; AF40431; Neurotensin; Protein-inhibitor complex; Sortilin; Sortilin crystal structure; Sorting receptor; VPS10P.
