Abstract

A high throughput screening (HTS) hit, 1 (Plk1 K(i)=2.2 μM) was optimized and evaluated for the enzymatic inhibition of Plk-1 kinase. Molecular modeling suggested the importance of adding a hydrophobic aromatic amine side chain in order to improve the potency by a classic kinase H-donor-acceptor binding mode. Extensive SAR studies led to the discovery of 49 (Plk1 K(i)=5 nM; EC(50)=1.05 μM), which demonstrated moderate efficacy at 100 mpk in a MiaPaCa tumor model, with no overt toxicity.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
