Structural modifications of (Z)-3-(2-aminoethyl)-5-(4-ethoxybenzylidene) thiazolidine-2, 4-dione that improve selectivity for inhibiting the proliferation of melanoma cells …
We herein report on the pharmacophore determination of the ERK docking domain inhibitor (Z)-3-(2-aminoethyl)-5-(4-ethoxybenzylidene) thiazolidine-2, 4-dione, which has led to the discovery of compounds with greater selectivities for inhibiting the proliferation of melanoma cells containing active ERK signaling.
