Based on the X-ray crystallography of our lead compound 1-(5-chloro-2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(5-cyanopyrazin-2-yl) Urea ill the checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) enzyme, we modified R-4, and to a lesser extent, R-2, and R-5 of the phenyl ring, and made a variety of N-aryl-N'-pyrazinylurea Chk1 inhibitors. Enzymatic activity less than 20 nM was observed in 15 of 41 compounds. Compound 8i provided the best overall results in the cellular assays as it abrogated doxorubicin-induced cell cycle arrest (IC50=1.7 mu M) and enhanced doxorubicin cytotoxicity (IC50=0.44 mu M) while displaying no single agent activity.
