R. Padmanabha et al., 1-METHOXY-AGROCLAVINE FROM PENICILLIUM SP. WC75209, A NOVEL INHIBITOROF THE LCK TYROSINE KINASE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(6), 1998, pp. 569-574
A high-throughput screen was developed and implemented to identify inh
ibitors of the Lck tyrosine kinase. This report describes the identifi
cation of a specific inhibitor of this enzyme from the solid fermentat
