A targeted protein kinase inhibitor library of 80 compounds was screened for PKD1 inhibitory activity at 1 µM using an in vitro radiometric PKD1 kinase assay. Sixteen compounds were selected as primary hits based on their ability to inhibit PKD1 at or above 50% at 1 µM. The % PKD1 inhibition referred to the percent inhibition of the total kinase activity measured in the absence of inhibitors (DMSO). Kb-NB142-70, a previously validated PKD inhibitor, was used as a positive control. Experiments were performed with triplicate determinations at 1 µM for each compound.
