Journal ArticleDOI

Preclinical activity of eltrombopag (SB-497115), an oral, nonpeptide thrombopoietin receptor agonist.

TL;DR: In conclusion, eltrombopag interacts selectively with the TpoR without competing with Tpo, leading to the increased proliferation and differentiation of human bone marrow progenitor cells into megakaryocytes and increased platelet production.
ComponentDOI

Design, synthesis, and kinetic evaluation of high-affinity fkbp ligands and the x-ray crystal-structures of their complexes with fkbp12.

TL;DR: In this article, the design and synthesis of high affinity FKBP12 ligands is described, which can inhibit the cis-trans-peptidylprolyl isomerase (rotamase) activity with an inhibition constant as low as 1 nM, yet they possess remarkable structural simplicity relative to FK506 and rapamycin.
Journal ArticleDOI

A small, nonpeptidyl mimic of granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor

TL;DR: A nonpeptidyl small molecule SB 247464, capable of activating granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) signal transduction pathways, was identified in a high-throughput assay in cultured cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrazinonaphthalene and azonaphthalene thrombopoietin mimics are nonpeptidyl promoters of megakaryocytopoiesis.

TL;DR: Modification of the core structure and adjustment of unwanted functionality resulted in the development of (5-oxo-1,5-dihydropyrazol-4-ylidene)hydrazines which exhibited efficacies equivalent to those of TPO in several cell-based assays designed to measure thrombopoietic activity.
