The Waldmann lab developed the next pseudo Natural Product (NP) called Myokinasib, a de novo combination of two biosynthetically unrelated NP fragment types: indoles and tropanes. Myokinasib is a truly unique chiral inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase 1 (MLCK1), impairs cytokinesis and induces formation of multinucleated cells.
