Calmodulin inhibitors, Chk2 inhibitors and RSK inhibitors for the treatment of ribosomal disorders and ribosomapathies
The present invention relates to methods, compositions and kits for treatment of ribosomal disorders and ribosomopathies, e.g. Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA). In some embodiments, the invention relates to the use of novel classes of compounds, i.e. inhibitors of RSK (p90S6K); inhibitors of p70S6K; and inhibitors of rps6, to treat ribosomal disorders and ribosomopathies. In some embodiments, the invention relates to the use of specific Chk2 inhibitors and to the use of specific phenothiazine derivatives to treat ribosomal disorders and ribosomopathies, e.g. DBA.
