Abstract

NIMA-related protein kinase Nek1 is crucially involved in cell cycle regulation, DNA repair and microtubule regulation and dysfunctions of Nek1 play key roles in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and several types of radiotherapy resistant cancer. Targeting of Nek1 could reveal a new class of radiosensitizing substances and provide useful tools to better understand the aforementioned diseases. In this report we explore substituted aminopyrazoles and 7-azaindoles as potent inhibitors for the Nek1 kinase domain and examine their effect on kidney organogenesis in Danio rerio.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
