Discovery of 4-(Benzylaminomethylene) isoquinoline-1, 3-(2 H, 4 H)-diones and 4-[(Pyridylmethyl) aminomethylene] isoquinoline-1, 3-(2 H, 4 H)-diones as Potent and …
The series of 4-(benzylaminomethylene) isoquinoline-1, 3-(2 H, 4 H)-dione and 4- [(pyridylmethyl) aminomethylene] isoquinoline-1, 3-(2 H, 4 H)-dione derivatives reported here represents a novel class of potential antitumor agents, which potently and selectively inhibit CDK4 over CDK2 and CDK1. In the benzylamino headpiece, a 3-OH substituent is required on the phenyl ring for CDK4 inhibitory activity, which is further enhanced when ...
