Design, synthesis, and testing of an 6-O-linked series of benzimidazole based inhibitors of CDK5/p25
摘要:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting in cognitive and behavioral impairment. The two classic pathological hallmarks of AD include extraneuronal deposition of amyloid beta (A beta) and intraneuronal formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). NFTs contain hyperphosphorylated tau. Tau is the major microtubule-associated protein in neurons and stabilizes microtubules (MTs). Cyclin dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), when activated by the regulatory binding protein p25, phosphorylates tau at a number of proline-directed serine/threonine residues, resulting in formation of phosphorylated tau as paired helical filaments (PHFs) then in subsequent deposition of PHFs as NFTs. Beginning with the structure of Roscovitine, a moderately selective CDK5 inhibitor, we sought to conduct structural modifications to increase inhibitory potency of CDK5 and increase selectivity over a similar enzyme, cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). The design, synthesis, and testing of a series of 1-isopropyl-4-aminobenzyl-6-ether-linked benzimidazoles is presented. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In a prior communication we identified a novel class of benzimidazole-based inhibitors of EGF-induced phosphorylation of ERK5. In this paper we examine the biological activity of several 1-isopropyl-4-amino-6-ether linked benzimidazole-based compounds for their ability to selectivelyinhibit EGF-mediated ERK5 phosphorylation; potential utility of variation at the 6-position was indicated by the initial

The MEK-signaling pathways are complex but critical signaling cascades that correlate an extracellular signaling event with internal cell processes. To date at least seven MEK isozymes have been identified. MEK5, in particular, is upregulated in multiple forms of tumors. Analysis of the EGF-induced MEK5 signaling cascade in cultured HEK cells has identified compounds that can inhibit MEK5 phosphorylation of ERK5; observed biological activity is dependent on chemical variation.

partners for Suzuki–Miyauracross-coupling with 4-nitro-6-triflyl benzimidazolesusingmicrowaveirradiation. The C–C bond formation at the 6-position of the electron-rich 1-,4-,6-trisubstituted benzimidazole core is challenging and was not achievable via Kumada, Negishi, Stille, or Heck coupling strategies. Yields of 37–70% could be obtained via palladium coupling strategies utilizing potassium benzyl trifluoroborates
