ABSTRACT
Rearrangements of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) are associated with several cancer diseases. Due to resistance development against existing ALK-inhibitors, new, structurally unrelated inhibitors are required. By a scaffold hopping strategy, 6,8-disubstituted purines were designed as analogues of similar ALK-inhibiting thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines. While the new title compounds indeed inhibited ALK and several ALK mutants in submicromolar concentrations, they retained poor water solubility.
