Design, synthesis and bioevaluation of dihydropyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine and benzo [4, 5] imidazo [1, 2-a] pyrimidine compounds as dual KSP and Aurora-A kinase …
Four series of dihydropyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridines and benzo [4, 5] imidazo [1, 2-a] pyrimidines were designed and synthesized as dual KSP and Aurora-A kinase inhibitors for anti-cancer agents by introducing some fragments of Aurora-A kinase inhibitors into our KSP inhibitor CPUYL064. A total of 19 target compounds were evaluated by two related enzyme inhibition assays and a cytotoxicity assay in vitro. The results showed that some target compounds ...
