The ability of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) to regulate the desensitization of GPCRs has made GRK2 and GRK5 attractive targets for treating diseases such as heart failure and cancer. Previously, our work showed that Cys474, a GRK5 subfamily-specific residue located on a flexible loop adjacent to the active site, can be used as a covalent handle to achieve selective inhibition of GRK5 over GRK2 subfamily members. However, the potency of the most selective inhibitors remained modest. Herein, we describe a successful
