Rational development of Stafib-2: a selective, nanomolar inhibitor of the transcription factor STAT5b

Abstract The transcription factor STAT5b is a target for tumour therapy. We recently reported catechol bisphosphate and derivatives such as Stafib-1 as the first selective inhibitors of the STAT5b SH2 domain. Here, we demonstrate STAT5b binding of catechol bisphosphate by solid-state nuclear magneti...
