Abstract

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are essential in the control of cell cycle progression. Inhibition of CDKs represents a new approach for pharmacological intervention in the treatment of a variety of proliferative diseases, especially cancer. Based on the crystal structure of CDK2 in complex with an imidazole indolinone compound 1 (SU9516), lead optimization through modeling, synthesis, and SAR studies has led to the discovery of a ...
