- Abstract
An approach and preliminary results for utilizing legacy MEK inhibitors as templates for a reiterative structural based design and synthesis of novel, type III NCKIs (non-classical kinase inhibitors) is described. Evidence is provided that the MEK-pocket or pockets closely related to it may exist in kinases other than MEK.
