Drug Repurposing and De Novo Drug Discovery of Protein Kinase Inhibitors as New Drugs against Schistosomiasis

Molecules, 2022
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. Chemotherapy relies on one single drug, praziquantel, which is safe but ineffective at killing larval stages of this parasite.

Exploring the chemotherapeutic potential of currently used kinase inhibitors: An update

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer phosphate to protein, resulting in the modification of the protein. The human genome encodes approximately 538 kinases.

Lipid activation of protein kinases

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Lipids acutely control the amplitude, duration, and subcellular location of signaling by lipid second messenger-responsive kinases. Typically, this activation is controlled by membrane-targeting modules that allosterically control the function of kinase ...

Unusual features and localization of the membrane kinome of Trypanosoma brucei.

PLoS ONE, 2021
In many eukaryotes, multiple protein kinases are situated in the plasma membrane where they respond to extracellular ligands. Ligand binding elicits a signal that is transmitted across the membrane, leading to activation of the cytosolic kinase domain ...
