CAP-53194

CAP-53194 is a selective Plk1 inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. CAP-53194 was identified by a high-throughput virtual screening approach using molecular docking, showing 100-fold selectivity for Plk1 over Plk2-4 and other cell cycle kinases. CAP-53194 is able to effectively exploit subtle differences between the binding sites of Plk1 and other Ser/Thr kinases, thereby enhancing their inhibitory effects. CAP-53194 meets the Lipinski compound analog criteria and passes other ADMET filters, indicating good compound compatibility. CAP-53194 belongs to a new class of potential Plk1 inhibitors suitable for subsequent compound development and testing[1].
