Abstract
Abstract
The extracellular-related kinase 5 (ERK5) is a promising target for cancer therapy. A high-throughput screen was
developed for ERK5, based on the IMAP FP progressive binding system, and used to identify hits from a library of 57 617
compounds. Four distinct chemical series were evident within the screening hits. Resynthesis and reassay of the hits
demonstrated that one series did not return active compounds, whereas three series returned active hits. Structure−activity
studies demonstrated that the 4-benzoylpyrrole-2-carboxamide pharmacophore had excellent potential for further development.
The minimum kinase binding pharmacophore was identified, and key examples demonstrated good selectivity for ERK5 over
p38α kinase.
