“…Additionally, KN‐62 and KN‐93 have many off‐targets, for example, CaMKI, CaMKIV, the potassium channels and the L‐type calcium channels, thus limiting its application. Recently, four ATP‐competitive CaMKII inhibitors, GS‐680, AS105, RA608 and RA306, have been identified with the first three to inhibit arrhythmogenesis and RA306 to reverse cardiac dysfunction in dilated cardiomyopathy 7–10 . Using a high‐throughput screening system for the kinase activity of CaMKII‐δ9, we recently identified Hesperadin as a specific ATP‐competitive inhibitor of CaMKII‐δ with dual functions of cardioprotective and anti‐tumour effects.…”
