Abstract

With high-throughput screening, substituted dibenzo[c,f][2,7]naphthyridine 1 was identified as a novel potent and selective phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1) inhibitor. Various regions of the lead molecule were explored to understand the SAR requirement for this scaffold. The crystal structure of 1 with kinase domain of PDK-1 confirmed the binding in the active site. The key interaction of the molecule with the active site residues, observed SAR, and the biological profile are discussed in detail.
