Substituted 2-Naphthamidine Inhibitors of Urokinase
Structural highlights
DiseaseUROK_HUMAN Defects in PLAU are the cause of Quebec platelet disorder (QPD) [MIM:601709. QPD is an autosomal dominant bleeding disorder due to a gain-of-function defect in fibrinolysis. Although affected individuals do not exhibit systemic fibrinolysis, they show delayed onset bleeding after challenge, such as surgery. The hallmark of the disorder is markedly increased PLAU levels within platelets, which causes intraplatelet plasmin generation and secondary degradation of alpha-granule proteins.[1] FunctionUROK_HUMAN Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedSeveral 8-substituted 2-naphthamidine-based inhibitors of the serine protease urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) are described. Direct attachment of five-membered saturated or unsaturated rings improved inhibitor performance; substitution with sulfones further improved binding profiles. Combination of these substituents or of previously described NH-linked heteroaromatic rings with 6-phenyl amide substituents provided further enhancements to potency and selectivity.
