The overexpression of P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) is associated with poor prognosis in several cancers, which has emerged as a promising drug targets. Based on high-throughput virtual screening strategy, tetrahydrothieno [2,3-c]pyridine scaffold was identified as an initial lead for targeting PAK1. Herein we reported our structure-based optimisation strategy to discover a potent PAK1 inhibitor (<b>7j</b>) which displayed potent PAK1 inhibition and antiproliferatory activity in MDA-MB-231 cells ...[more]
