nek1

GSK2656157 is a highly specific and ATP-competitive PERK inhibitor (IC50: 0.9 nM) in a cell-free assay. The selectivty is 500-fold higher against a panel of 300 kinases.

BSc5367 is a potent inhibitor of the structural domain of Nek1 kinase with an IC50=11.5 nM. Nek1 is a NIMA-associated protein kinase tightly linked to cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and microtubule regulation. BSc5367 can be used in studies related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and several types of radiotherapy-resistant cancers.

UNC5452 is a Nek1 inhibitor.

CK7 (a Cdk2 9 inhibitor) is crucial in synthesizing Nek1 inhibitors [BSc5231] and [BSc5367].

ZINC05007751 is an effective inhibitor of NIMA-related kinase NEK6 (IC50 = 3.4 μM). ZINC05007751 is very selective against NEK1 and NEK6 with no significant activity observed against NEK2, NEK7, and NEK9.
