An important objective for the discovery of compounds with unique biological activities is the development of methods for the synthesis of molecular scaffolds with defined three-dimensional shapes. We are currently investigating the scope of using metal complexes to accomplish this goal. In these compounds, the metal center has the role of organizing the orientation of the organic ligands, thus defining the overall shape of the molecule. A strategy is presented that allows a rapid scanning of ligands around a ruthenium center in the search for ligand spheres that are complementary in shape and functional group presentation to ATP binding sites of protein kinases. Following this approach, we have identified octahedral ruthenium complexes as potent inhibitors for the protein kinases Pim1, MSK1, and GSK3 alpha.
