PDB Ligand
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Silmitasertib (CX-4945) is a a potent and selective inhibitor of CK2 (casein kinase 2) [4-5]. CX-4945 is described in the same article as CX-5011 and CX-5279 [1].

SARS-CoV-2
Silmitasertib, via inhibition of CK2, was found to produce an in vitro antiviral effect (IC50 = 2.34 μM;) [2]. In conjunction with data supporting a physical interaction [3] and co-localization of CK2 with SARS-CoV-2 N protein, and evidence of potential role of CK2 in remodeling extracellular matrix upon infection [2], it can be hypothesised that the CK2 pathway is hijacked by SARS-CoV-2. Thus, it makes pharmacological sense that silmitasertib should be considered for investigation as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic.

Bioactivity Comments
CX-4945 induces apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibits molecular mechanisms underlying angoigenesis in HUVEC cells [5]. Low nanomolar IC50s are reported (in ascending value) for several other kinases including death-associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3), fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), CDC-like kinase 3 (CLK3), homeodomain interacting protein kinase 3 (HIPK3), Pim-1 proto-oncogene (PIM1) and cyclin dependent kinase 1 (CDK1/cyclinB) [4].
