Structure-Based Optimization of Covalent, Small-Molecule Stabilizers of the 14-3-3?/ER? Protein–Protein Interaction from Nonselective Fragments

Covalent Modifiers

Orthogonal biophysical assays, including mass spectrometry and fluorescence anisotropy, were used to establish structure–activity relationships. Here, we show the structure-based optimization of the nonselective fragment toward selective and highly potent small-molecule stabilizers of the 14-3-3σ/ERα complex.

Variability in biological activity measurements reported in the drug discovery literature

Molecular Design

When examining differences between IC 50 values for the same combination of target and inhibitor it's worth bearing in mind that interference with assay read-outs tends to be more of an issue at high concentration (this is why biophysical assays tend to be favored for screening fragments).
