Coordination Complex Sh2 Domain Proteomimetics: An Alternative Approach To Disrupting Oncogenic Protein-Protein Interactions

Abstract

We report the first application of coordination complexes as functional proteomimetics of the Src homology 2 (SH2) phosphopeptide-binding domain. As a proof-of-concept, functionalized bis-dipicolylamine (BDPA) copper(ii) complexes are shown to disrupt oncogenic Stat3-Stat3 protein complexes and elicit promising anti-tumour activity. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010
