Highly potent inhibitors of the Grb2-SH2 domain

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Jan 18;9(2):221-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00701-x.

Abstract

Highly potent inhibitors of the Grb2-SH2 domain have been synthesized. They share the common sequence: Ac-Pmp-Ac6c-Asn-NH-(3-indolyl-propyl). Different substituents at the 3-indolyl-propylamine C-terminal group were explored to further improve the activity. This is the first example of inhibitors of SH2 domains with sub-nanomolar affinity reported to date.
