Inhibition of eEF2-K by thieno[2,3-b]pyridine analogues
摘要:
Several series of thieno[2-3-b]pyridine analogues were synthesized and screened for inhibitory activity against eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF2-K). Modifications around several regions of the lead molecules were made, with a ring fusion adjacent to the nitrogen on the thienopyridine core being critical for activity. The most active compound 34 shows an IC(50) of 170 nM against eEF2-K in vitro. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
