https://www.selleckchem.com/products/lenalidomide-s1029.html The ability of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) to regulate the desensitization of GPCRs has made GRK2 and GRK5 attractive targets for treating diseases such as heart failure and cancer. Previously, our work showed that Cys474, a GRK5 subfamily-specific residue located on a flexible loop adjacent to the active site, can be used as a covalent handle to achieve selective inhibition of GRK5 over GRK2 subfamily members. However, the potency of the most selective inhibitors remained modest. Herein, we describe a successful campaign to adapt an indolinone scaffold with covalent warheads, resulting in a series of 2-haloacetyl-containing compounds that react quickly and exhibit three orders of magnitude selectivity for GRK5 over GRK2 and low nanomolar potency. They however retain a similar selectivity profile across the kinome as the core scaffold, which was based on Sunitinib.Orthosilicates adopt the zircon structure types (I41/amd), consisting of isolated SiO4 tetrahedra joined by A-site metal cations, such as Ce and U. They are of significant interest in the fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, nuclear waste form development, and material science. Stetindite (CeSiO4) and coffinite (USiO4) can be formed under hydrothermal conditions despite both being thermodynamically metastable. Water has been hypothesized to play a significant role in stabilizing and forming these orthosilicate phases, though little experimental evidence exists. To understand the effects of hydration or hydroxylation on these orthosilicates, in situ high-temperature synchrotron and laboratory-based X-ray diffraction was conducted from 25 to ∼850 °C. Stetindite maintains its I41/amd symmetry with increasing temperature but exhibits a discontinuous expansion along the a-axis during heating, presumably due to the removal of water confined in the [001] channels, which shrink against thermal expansion along the a-axis.
