Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2016 Feb 15;26(4):1169-72. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2016.01.045. Epub 2016 Jan 18.

Abstract

To study the molecular action of ischemic Fas-mediated cell death inhibitor, we prepared fluorescent-tagged and biotin-tagged probes of the potent inhibitor, KR-33494, of ischemic cell death. We used the molecular modeling technique to find the proper position for attaching those probes with minimum interference in the binding process of probes with Fas-mediated cell death target, FAF1.

Keywords: Biotin tagged probe; FAF1; Fas-mediated cell death pathways; Fluorescence tagged probe; KR-33493.
