Four protein kinase inhibitors, R547, GDC-0879, JNJ-7706621 and ABT-869 were found to bind hPIP5K1α via a stable complex formation. The hit molecules display favorable ADME properties and are predicted to be non-carcinogenic. The hit molecules in particular R547, have better binding free energies compared to reference molecule, ISA-2011B.

PIP5K1A (Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate 5-Kinase Type 1 Alpha)
We systematically screened approved, investigational, and druggable compounds with inhibitory effects using a reporter assay, and identified candidate drugs for EMT inhibition.
The miPS cells were cultured for one week in the presence of the conditioned medium (CM) of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells and AZD-6244, PD0325901, a pan-MEK inhibitor, or GDC-0879, a B-Raf inhibitor. Moreover, converted cells gained migration and invasion abilities assessed by in vitro assays. Therefore, the inhibition of MEK1/2 was found to be critical for the conversion of normal stem cells into CSCs in the tumor-inducing microenvironment.
