The structure-based design and optimization of a novel series of selective PERK inhibitors are described resulting in the identification of 44 as a potent, highly selective, and orally active tool compound suitable for PERK pathway biology exploration both in vitro

Patients with aggressive brain tumors, named glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), have a poor prognoses. Here we explored if the ER stress/unfolded protein response (UPR) is involved in the pathophysiology of GBM and may provide novel therapeutic targets. Immunohistochemical analyses of a
Saxagliptin (Saxa), a dipeptidyl dipeptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, is widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been documented to have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory actions. Our objective was to delineate the protective effect and the underlying mechanism
Cell death and differentiation, 24(6), 1100-1110 (2017-04-30)
Accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes a state of cellular stress known as ER stress. The cells respond to ER stress by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR), a signaling network emerging from the ER-anchored receptors
IRE1, PERK, and ATF6 are the three transducers of the mammalian canonical unfolded protein response (UPR). GSK2606414 is a potent inhibitor of PERK, while KIRA6 inhibits the kinase activity of IRE1. Both molecules are frequently used to probe the biological
