Highly functionalized terpyridines as competitive inhibitors of AKAP-PKA interactions.

A good fit: Interactions between A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and protein kinaseA (PKA) play key roles in a plethora of physiologically relevant processes whose dysregulation causes or is associated with diseases such as heart failure. Terpyridines have been developed as α-helix mimetics for...

Description
Summary:A good fit: Interactions between A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and protein kinaseA (PKA) play key roles in a plethora of physiologically relevant processes whose dysregulation causes or is associated with diseases such as heart failure. Terpyridines have been developed as α-helix mimetics for the inhibition of such interactions and are the first biologically active, nonpeptidic compounds that block the AKAP binding site of PKA. © 2013 The Authors.
