title: Structure-activity relationship of novel DAPK inhibitors identified by structure-based virtual screening.
abstract: Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a serine/threonine protein kinase implicated in diverse programmed cell death pathways. DAPK is a promising target protein for the treatment of ischemic diseases. We identified novel potent and selective DAPK inhibitors efficiently by structure-based virtual screening, then further developed the hit compounds. In this paper, we describe the development of the hit compounds and the structure-activity relationship studies of the DAPK inhibitors in detail, including calculation of the solvated interaction energy (SIE), and verification of selectivity using a kinase panel.
