By bioisosteric replacement, a novel series of N,4-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amines were obtained as CDK2 inhibitors. Compound 15 exhibited the most potent CDK2 inhibitory activity with selectivity over other CDKs and showed sub-micromolar antiproliferative activity against cancer cells. This study highlights the potential of N,4-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine scaffold as potent and selective CDK2 inhibitors for cancer treatment.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) has been garnering considerable interest as a target to develop new cancer treatments and to ameliorate resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. However, a selective CDK2 inhibitor has yet to be clinically approved. With the desire to discover novel, potent, and selective CDK2 inhibitors, the phenylsulfonamide moiety of our previous lead compound 1 was bioisosterically replaced with pyrazole derivatives, affording a novel series of N,4-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amines that exhibited potent CDK2 inhibitory activity. Among them, 15 was the most potent CDK2 inhibitor (K-i = 0.005 mu M) with a degree of selectivity over other CDKs tested. Meanwhile, this compound displayed sub-micromolar antiproliferative activity against a panel of 13 cancer cell lines (GI(50) = 0.127-0.560 mu M). Mechanistic studies in ovarian cancer cells revealed that 15 reduced the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma at Thr821, arrested cells at the S and G2/M phases, and induced apoptosis. These results accentuate the potential of the N,4-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine scaffold to be developed into potent and selective CDK2 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.
