Cytokinin-Derived Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitors: Synthesis and cdc2 Inhibitory Activity of Olomoucine and Related Compounds
摘要:
Cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk) have recently raised considerable interest in view of their essential role in the regulation of the cell division cycle. The structure-activity relationships of cdk inhibition showed that the 1, 3, and 7 positions of the purine ring must remain free, probably for a direct interaction, in which it behaves as a hydrogen bond acceptor. Olomoucine (6-(benzylamino)-2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-9-methylpurine, OC), roscovitine (6-(benzylamino)-2(R)-[[1-(hydroxymethyl)propyl]amino]-9-isopropylpurine), and other N-6,2,9-trisubstituted adenines were found to exert a strong inhibitory effect on the p34(cdc2)/cyclin B kinase. Removal or change of the side chain at position 2 or the hydrophobic group at position 9 dramatically decreased the inhibitory activity of olomoucine or roscovitine. Inhibition of cdk with OC and related compounds clearly arrests cell proliferation of many tumor cell lines at G(1)/S and G(2)/M transitions and also triggers apoptosis in the target tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Thus, from a pharmacological point of view, OC may represent a model compound for a new class of antimitotic and antitumor drugs.

Provided are methods for the identification and isolation of active CDK/cyclin complexes and the constituents thereof and their use for screening of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Furthermore, methods for screening, identifying and obtaining novel plant growth regulators such as activators and inhibitors of plant growth are described. In particular, compounds are provided that are specific for A- and B-type CDKs, respectfully. Such compounds are useful as plant growth regulators and herbicides in agriculture and plant cell and tissue culture.
