Synthesis and evaluation of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine CDK1 inhibitors as anti-tumor agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Aug 1;17(15):4297-302. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.05.029. Epub 2007 May 16.

Abstract

A series of 3,5-disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors was synthesized. These compounds showed potent and selective CDK inhibitory activities and inhibited in vitro cellular proliferation in cultured human tumor cells. Selected compounds were evaluated in an in vivo tumor xenograft model. The synthesis and biological evaluation of these pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and related compounds are reported.
