GNF-2 belongs to a new class of Bcr-abl inhibitors. GNF-2 appears to bind to the myristoyl binding pocket, an allosteric site distant from the active site, stabilizing the inactive form of the kinase. It inhibits Bcr-abl phosphorylation with an IC50 of 267 nM, but does not inhibit a panel of 63 other kinases, including native c-Abl, and shows complete lack of toxicity towards cells not expressing Bcr-Abl. GNF-2 shows great potential for a new class of inhibitor to study Bcr-abl activity and to treat resistant Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which is caused the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein.
