RESUMO
Protein kinase CK2 is a potential drug target for many diseases including cancer and inflammation disorders. The crystal structure of clinical candidate CX-4945 1 with CK2 revealed an indirect interaction with the protein through hydrogen bonding between the NH of the 3-chlorophenyl amine and a water molecule. Herein, we investigate the relevance of this hydrogen bond by preparing several novel tricyclic derivatives lacking a NH moiety at the same position. This SAR study allowed the discovery of highly potent CK2 inhibitors.

Structure-activity relationship analysis in a series of 3-(5-((2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)methyl)furan-2-yl)amides identified compound 13, a pan-Pim kinases inhibitor with excellent biochemical potency and kinase selectivity. Compound 13 exhibited in vitro synergy with chemotherapeutics and robust in vivo efficacy in two Pim kinases driven tumor models.
