PEPTIDE AND PEPTIDE MIMETIC BINDING ANTAGONISTS OF POLO-LIKE KINASE 1 POLO BOX DOMAIN AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

The description provides novel compounds that may serve as anticancer therapeutics. The compounds of the description bind to polo-like kinases through the polo-box domain. The peptide derivatives of the description have achieved improved efficacy in biochemical assays against Plk1. The description also provides methods of use, methods of preparation, compositions, and kits thereof. Further, the description provides a novel method of design and/or synthesis of phosphoryl-derived peptide derivatives useful as therapeutic agents.
