Medicinal Chemistry is predominately focused on the design of purely organic molecules, whereas the incoporation of inorganic components into drugs is much less investigated. We started a research program that aims in exploring organometallic and inorganic compounds as structural scaffolds for enzyme inhibition. Such metal-ligand assemblies allow convergent synthetic approaches and give access to structural motifs that differ from purely organic molecules. Presented is a strategy for developing ruthenium complexes that target the ATP-binding site of protein kinases by copying structural features of ATP and small organic molecule inhibitors.
