Electrophilic binders capable of covalently modifying cysteine residues in ATP and allosteric kinase pockets
5 520 compounds
Covalent targeting of kinases has long and outstanding place in drug discovery. This approach has already delivered 12 FDA-approved drugs with remarkable results in clinics. Despite all the challenges of covalent drug discovery targeting kinases remain the main field for this approach, now sharing it with Induced Proximity and Protein Degradation strategy. Careful selection of electrophilic warheads is one of the key aspect to achieve selectivity and minimizing off target effects.

To create this library, we selected dataset of mild electrophiles capable of Cys binding and carefully analyzed Kinase Cysteinome using all reported PDB structures with accessible Cys-residues.
- Presence of Cys residues in ATP or allosteric pocket accessible for binding with small molecules
- Acrylamides and their substituted analogs were used for docking
- Visual inspection of binding poses after docking calculations
Cysteine residue positions are potentially amenable to covalent targeting
Colors are assigned accordingly to the regions where the cysteines are located – Orange: Glycine-rich loop/P-loop; Pink: Gatekeeper residue; Light green: Hinge region; Red: front region, pocket access; Magenta: pre-DFG motif; Salmon: backpocket; Brown roof region; Cyan activation segment; Blue: outside of the ATP-pocket; Dark-green/deep-teal: positions exposed in inactive kinase conformations (DFG-out) and additional position.
