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.
