Utilizing comprehensive and mini-kinome panels to optimize the selectivity of quinoline inhibitors for cyclin G associated kinase (GAK)

We demonstrate an innovative approach utilising both fit-for-purpose kinase mini-panels and kinome-wide panels to progress discovery programs in the optimization of inhibitor potency and selectivity. We present a focused case study on development of a selective inhibitor of cyclin G associated kinase (GAK) using the quin(az)oline inhibitor chemotype. These results exemplify a versatile, efficient approach to drive kinome selectivity during inhibitor development programs.
