[a] Potency not determined as covalent compounds. [b] Assays conducted but specific potency (IC50, K D, K iapp) not stated. [c] Cell‐based activation assay for small GTPases. [d] IC50 could not be replicated in separate study due to poor solubility. * Suitable for use as a probe in vitro. ** Suitable for use as a probe in vitro and in vivo. Probe criteria: IC50 or K D <100 nm, >30‐fold selectivity against sequence‐related proteins of the same target family, profiled against relevant off‐targets and on‐target effects in cells at <1 μm concentration.
