Abstract: P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) plays a vital role in the proliferation, survival and migration of cancer cells, which has emerged as a promising drug target for cancer therapy. In this study, a series of 2-indolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized through a structure-based strategy. A potent PAK1 inhibitor (ZMF-005) was discovered, which presented an IC value of 0.22 μM against PAK1 with potent antiproliferative activity. Furthermore, we predicted the binding mode of ZMF-005 and PAK1 by molecule docking and dynamic (MD) simulation. In addition, ZMF-005 was documented to induce significant apoptosis and suppress migration in MDA-MB-231 cells. Collectively, these findings revealed that ZMF-005 is a novel potent PAK1 inhibitor for breast cancer treatment.
