Design, synthesis, and SAR of 2-dialkylamino-4-arylpyrimidines as potent and selective corticotropin-releasing factor 1 (CRF 1 ) receptor antagonists
摘要:
A series of 2-dialkylamino-4-phenylpyrimidines (7) was designed and synthesized as CRF1 antagonists. SAR studies of this series resulted in the discovery of potent and selective antagonists 7b and 7n bearing a 4-(2,4,6-trisubstituted-phenyl) ring and a bulky 2-(N-bis(cyclopropane)methyl-N-propyl) amino group.

Specific inhibition of CDK9 is considered a promising strategy for developing effective anticancer therapeutics. However, most of the reported CDK9 inhibitors are still at an early stage of development and lack selectivity against other CDKs. Herein, we discovered coumarin derivative 30i as a potent CDK9 inhibitor with high selectivity (8300-fold over CDK7). Binding mode analysis illustrated that the substituent coumarin moiety is a critical group for CDK9 selectivity by occupying a flexible hinge/alpha D region, which is sterically hindered in other CDKs. Compound 30i showed excellent cellular antiproliferative activity, moderate pharmacokinetic property and low hERG inhibition. Moreover, 30i significantly induced tumour growth inhibition in a dose-dependent manner without causing an obvious loss of body weight in an MV4-11 xenograft mice model. Altogether, these results suggest that 30i may serve as a potential acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) therapeutics by selectively targeting CDK9. (C) 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
