78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp78) is a heat shock protein (HSP) involved in protein
folding that plays a role in cancer cell proliferation. Binding of adenosine-derived inhibitors
to Grp78 was characterized by surface plasmon resonance and isothermal titration
calorimetry. The most potent compounds were 13 (VER-155008) with KD= 80 nM and 14
with KD= 60 nM. X-ray crystal structures of Grp78 bound to ATP, ADPnP, and adenosine
derivative 10 revealed differences in the binding site between Grp78 and homologous …
