improved IWP-based ATP-competitive inhibitors of CK1δ. In summary, it can be concluded that the cellular effects mediated by IWPs are not only due to the inhibition of Porcn, but also to inhibition of CK1δ dependent signaling pathways. These data clearly show a high potential of CK1δ specific inhibitors for personalized therapy concepts for the treatment of various tumor entities (e.g. breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and glioblastoma), leukemia, neurodegenerative disease like AD, PD, and ALs, and sleeping disorders. Furthermore, CK1δ specific inhibitors seem to exhibit high relevance for prognostic applications. In this context it could be shown that [11C] labeled highly potent difluoro-dioxolo-benzoimidazol-benzamides can be used as PET radiotracers and for imaging of AD. Since small molecule inhibitors often have various disadvantages, including low bioavailability, off-target effects as well as severe side effects, the interest in the development and validation of new biological tools like identification of biological active peptides either able to inhibit CK1δ activity or the interaction of CK1δ with cellular proteins is more and more growing. The use of peptide libraries resulted in the identification of peptides able to specifically block the interaction of CK1δ with tubulin, the RNA helicase DDX3X and Axin. Binding of peptide δ-361 to α-tubulin not only lead to blocking of the interaction of CK1δ with α-tubulin, it also selectively inhibited phosphorylation of GST-α-tubulin by CK1δ. Treatment of cancer cells with peptide δ-361 finally resulted to microtubule destabilization and cell death. Fine-mapping of the DDX3X interaction domains on CK1δ, the CK1δ- peptides δ-1, and δ-41 were identified to be able to block the interactions of CK1δ with the X-linked DEAD box RNA helicase DDX3X as well as the kinase activity of CK1δ. In addition, these two identified peptides could inhibit the stimulation of CK1 kinase activity in established cell lines. Since DDX3X mutations being present in medulloblastoma patients increase the activity of CK1 in living cells, and subsequently activate CK1-regulated pathways like Wnt/β-catenin and hedgehog signaling, the identified interaction-blocking peptides could be useful in personalized therapy concepts for the treatment of Wnt/β-catenin- or Hedgehog-driven cancers. In 2018, the interaction between Axin1, a scaffold protein exhibiting important roles in Wnt signaling, and CK1δ/ε were fine-mapped using a peptide library. The identified Axin1 derived peptides were able to block the interaction with CK1δ/ε. Since Axin1 and Dvl also compete for CK1δ/ε-mediated site-specific phosphorylation it can be stated that Axin 1 plays an important role of in
