Abstract

Small molecules are widely used in chemical biology without complete knowledge of their target profile, at risk of deriving conclusions that ignore potential confounding effects from unknown off-target interactions. The prediction and further experimental confirmation of novel affinities for PJ34 on Pim1 (IC50 = 3.7 μM) and Pim2 (IC50 = 16 μM) serine/threonine kinases, together with their involvement in many of the processes relevant to PARP biology, questions the appropriateness of using PJ34 as a chemical tool to probe the biological role of PARP1 and PARP2 at the high micromolar concentrations applied in most studies.
