Synthesis and biological activities of aminopyrimidyl-indoles structurally related to meridianins

Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 Jul 1;17(13):4420-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2009.05.017. Epub 2009 May 12.

Abstract

The synthesis of new meridianin derivatives substituted at the C-5 position of the 2-aminopyrimidine ring by various aryl groups and substituted or not by a methyl group on the indole nitrogen is described. These compounds were tested for their kinase inhibitory potencies toward five kinases (CDK5/p25, CK1delta/epsilon, GSK-3alpha/beta, Dyrk1A and Erk2) as well as their in vitro antiproliferative activities toward a human fibroblast primary culture and two human solid cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and PA 1).
