• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  Herein, we report a salicylaldehyde-based, reversible covalent inhibitor (A2) that possesses moderate cellular activity against AURKA with a prolonged residence time and shows significant non-covalent inhibition towards LRRK2. Our results indicated that this multitarget kinase inhibitor may be used as the starting point for future development of more potent, selective and dual-targeting covalent kinase inhibitors against AURKA and LRRK2 for mitophagy.
