Aurone derivatives as Vps34 inhibitors that modulate autophagy

We report in this study the identification of a natural product-like antagonist (1a) of Vps34 as a potent autophagy modulator via structure-based virtual screening. Aurone derivative 1a strongly inhibited Vps34 activity in cell-free and cell-based assays. Significantly, 1a prevents autophagy in huma...
