Heterobiaryl purine derivatives as potent antiproliferative agents: inhibitors of cyclin dependent kinases. Part II

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Dec 1;19(23):6613-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.10.011. Epub 2009 Oct 12.

Abstract

C-6 Biarylmethylamino purine derivatives of roscovitine (1) inhibit cyclin dependent kinases and demonstrate potent antiproliferative activity. Replacement of the aryl rings of the C-6 biarylmethylamino group with heterobiaryl rings has provided compounds with significantly improved activity. In particular, derivatives 18 g and 9 c demonstrated 1000-fold and 1250-fold improvements, respectively, in the growth inhibition of HeLa cells compared to roscovitine (1).
