Data supporting a pilot high-throughput screen of a drug library for identification of DYRK1A inhibitors and high-content imaging analysis of identified harmine analogs.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article support the accompanying research article "Identification of harmine and β-carboline analogs from a high-throughput screen of an approved drug collection; profiling as differential inhibitors of DYRK1A and monoamine oxidase A and for in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer studies" [1]. As DYRK1A (dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1a) plays a role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases including diabetes, cancer and neurodegeneration [2], [3], [4], the identification of DYRK1A inhibitors is of significant interest. This data article details the hits identified from a DYRK1A high-throughput screen of a small molecule compound library containing over 95% approved drugs. Twenty-two compounds were identified with >50% inhibition, including harmine and four of its analogs. Subsequent profiling of these harmine analogs using glioma cancer cell lines and high-content image analysis identified those with effects on growth and cytotoxicity.
