Abstract

Thirty five new compounds belonging to pyrimidine, pyran and pyridine classes were synthesized and tested against two protein kinases, CDK-1/cyclin B and GSK-3. Among these compounds, 2-amino-4-(2-butyl-5-chloro-4H-imidazol-4-yl)-6-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile 17d was identified as the most potent inhibitor of these kinases. To identify possible binding modes, docking of the most active compounds into the active sites of CDK-1/cyclin B and GSK-3 was carried out. The molecular modeling studies brought to the fore stereochemistry and nature of the central core ring as major determinants affecting CDK-1/cyclin B and GSK-3 activity.
