A Protoberberine derivative HWY336 selectively inhibits MKK4 and MKK7 in mammalian cells: the importance of activation loop on selectivity.

A protoberberine derivative library was used to search for selective inhibitors against kinases of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades in mammalian cells. Among kinases in mammalian MAPK pathways, we identified a compound (HWY336) that selectively inhibits kinase activity of mitogen...
