Abstract Over expression of Human Phosphatidyl inositol mannoside kinases isoform 1 (Pim-1 kinase) has been reported in several leukemia and solid tumors. Our continuous interest to reveal the secrecies of the mysterious Pim-1 kinase binding pocket has led us to employ a structure based drug design procedure based on receptor-ligand pharmacophore generation protocol implemented in Discovery Studio 4.5 (DS 4.5).
