Aminopyrimidinone cdc7 kinase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 Mar 1;22(5):1940-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.01.041. Epub 2012 Jan 25.

Abstract

We have investigated the SAR of a series of pyrimidinone-containing Cdc7 kinase inhibitors. A wide range of amine substitutions give potent compounds with activities (K(i)) less than 1nM. Kinase selectivity is reasonable and cytotoxicity corresponds to inhibition of MCM2 phosphorylation.
