Abstract:Cyanamides have emerged as privileged scaffolds in covalent inhibitors of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). However, many compounds with a cyanopyrrolidine warhead show cross‐reactivity toward small subsets of DUBs or toward the protein deglycase PARK7/DJ‐1, hampering their use for the selective perturbation of a single DUB in living cells. Here, we disclose N’‐alkyl,N‐cyanopiperazines as structures for covalent enzyme inhibition with exceptional specificity for the DUB UCHL1 among 55 human deubiquitinases and … Show more
