Synthesis and CHK1 inhibitory potency of Hymenialdisine analogues

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Feb 1;19(3):841-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.12.001. Epub 2008 Dec 7.

Abstract

A series of thieno[3,2-b]pyrroloazepinones derivatives related to Hymenialdisine were prepared and tested for CHK1 inhibitory activity. Nanomolar inhibitions were achieved when electron-withdrawing substituents were introduced at position 3 of the thiophene ring.
