Design and Computational Evaluation of Sugar-Amino Acid Conjugates as CK2α Inhibitor, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fattahi, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The aim of this study is to devise innovative compounds that impede the function of CK2α enzyme by incorporating amino acids and sugars into their molecular structure. CK2α, a catalytic subunit of CK2 enzyme, operates autonomously and is the only continuously active kinase that does not require an upstream regulator. Emerging evidence highlights CK2α's crucial role in various cancers and infectious diseases, including Covid-19, indicating that suppressing its function could provide a promising approach to improve patient outcomes. To accomplish this objective, the drug design process must take into account both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Pharmacokinetics, encompassing...
