Development of Anthraquinone Analogues as Phosphoglycerate Mutase 1 Inhibitors
Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) coordinates glycolysis and biosynthesis to promote cancer cell proliferation, and is believed to be a promising target for cancer therapy. Herein, based on the anthraquinone scaffold, we synthesized 31 anthraquinone derivatives and investigated the structureW...

Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) coordinates glycolysis and biosynthesis to promote cancer cell proliferation, and is believed to be a promising target for cancer therapy.
