CRYSTALS OF AN AURORA-A TPX2 COMPLEX, TPX2 BINDING SITE OF AURORA-A, AURORA-A LIGANDS AND THEIR USE

摘要

The present invention relates to crystals of phosphorylated Aurora-A kinase fragment alone and in complex with a ligand, amino acid residues 1-43 of human TPX2. This invention also relates to methods for designing and selecting ligands, in particular allosteric inhibitors of Aurora-A, that bind to the Aurora-A kinase and their use. Further, the present invention relates to certain indene and indole derivatives.The present invention relates to crystals of phosphorylated Aurora-A kinase alone and in complex with a ligand, amino acid residues 1-43 of human TPX2.
