Abstract
Novel small molecules were designed to specifically target the ligand-binding pocket of a PDZ domain. Iterative molecular docking and modeling allowed the design of an indole scaffold 10a as a reversible inhibitor of ligand binding. The 10a scaffold inhibited the interaction between MAGI-3 and PTEN and showed cellular activities that are consistent with the inhibition of NHERF-1 function.
