We previously highlighted the interest in 6,5,6-fused tricyclic analogues of 4-aminoquinazolines as kinase inhibitors in the micromolar to the nanomolar range of IC50 values. For the generation of chemical libraries, the formamide-mediated cyclization of the cyanoamidine precursors was carried out under microwave irradiation in an eco-friendly approach. In order to explore more in-depth the pharmacological interest in such tricyclic skeletons, the central five member ring, i.e., thiophène or furan, was replaced by a pyrrole to afford 9H-pyrimido[5,4-b]- and [4,5-b]indol-4-amine derivatives inspired from harmine. The inhibitory potency of the final products was determined against four protein kinases (CDK5/p25, CK1δ/ε, GSK3α/β, and DYRK1A). As a result, we have identified promising compounds targeting CK1δ/ε and DYRK1A and displaying micromolar and submicromolar IC50 values.
我们先前强调了6,5,6-融合三环类4-氨基喹唑啉作为激酶抑制剂在微摩尔到纳摩尔范围内的IC50值的兴趣。为了生成化学库,使用甲酰胺介导的氰基胺前体的环化反应在微波辐射下进行,采用环保的方法。为了更深入地探索这种三环骨架的药理学兴趣,中心的五元环,即噻吩或呋喃,被替换为吡咯,以制备受到harmine启发的9H-嘧啶并[5,4-b]-和[4,5-b]吲哚-4-胺衍生物。最终产品的抑制效力被测定对四种蛋白激酶(CDK5/p25、CK1δ/ε、GSK3α/β和DYRK1A)。结果,我们已经确定了有前途的化合物,靶向CK1δ/ε和DYRK1A,显示微摩尔和亚微摩尔的IC50值。
