Novel potent dual inhibitors of CK2 and Pim kinases with antiproliferative activity against cancer cells
摘要:
A novel family of potent dual inhibitors of CK2 and the Pim kinases was discovered by modifying the scaffolds of tricyclic Pim inhibitors. Several analogs were active at single digit nanomolar IC50 values against CK2 and the Pim isoforms Pim-1 and Pim-2. The molecules displayed antiproliferative activity in various cell phenotypes in the low micromolar and submicromolar range, providing an excellent starting point for further drug discovery optimization.

The invention provides compounds that inhibit selected kinases (Pim, Flt and/or CK2 kinases) and compositions containing such compounds. These compounds and compositions are useful for treating proliferative disorders such as cancer, as well as other kinase-associated conditions including inflammation, pain, and certain infections and immunological disorders.
