Abstrakt: The synthesis of a series of berberine, phenantridine and isoquinoline derivatives was realized to explore their Rho GTPase nucleotide inhibitory activity. The compounds were evaluated in a nucleotide binding competition assay against Rac1, Rac1b, Cdc42 and in a cellular Rac GTPase activation assay. The insertion of 19 AA in the splice variant Rac1b is shown to be sufficient to introduce a conformational difference that allows compounds 4, 21, 22, and 26 to exhibit selective inhibition of Rac 1b over Rac1.
