The adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) competitive cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor O6-cyclohexylmethylguanine (NU2058, 1) has been employed as the lead in a structure-based drug discovery program resulting in the discovery of the potent CDK1 and -2 inhibitor NU6102 (3, IC50 = 9.5 nM and 5.4 nM vs CDK1/cyclinB and CDK2/cyclinA3, respectively). The SAR for this series have been explored further by the synthesis and evaluation of 45 N2-substituted analogues of NU2058. These studies have confirmed the requirement for the hydrogen bonding N2-NH group and the requirement for an aromatic N2-substituent to confer potency in the series. Additional potency is conferred by the presence of a group capable of donating a hydrogen bond at the 4′-position, for example, the 4′-hydroxy derivative (25, IC50 = 94 nM and 69 nM vs CDK1/cyclinB and CDK2/cyclinA3, respectively), 4′-monomethylsulfonamide derivative (28, IC50 = 9 nM and 7.0 nM vs CDK1/cyclinB and CDK2/cyclinA3, respectively), and 4′-carboxamide derivative (34, IC50 = 67 nM and 64 nM vs CDK1/cyclinB and CDK2/cyclinA3, respectively). X-ray crystal structures have been obtained for key compounds and have been used to explain the observed trends in activity.
