Discovery of 3-Alkoxyamino-5-(pyridin-2-ylamino)pyrazine-2-carbonitriles as Selective, Orally Bioavailable CHK1 Inhibitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inhibitors of checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) are of current interest as potential antitumor agents, but the most advanced inhibitor series reported to date are not orally bioavailable. A novel series of potent and orally bioavailable 3-alkoxyamino-5-(pyridin-2-ylamino)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile CHK1 inhibitors was generated by hybridization of two lead scaffolds derived from fragment-based drug design and optimized for CHK1 potency and high selectivity using a cell-based assay cascade. Efficient in vivo pharmacokinetic assessment was used to identify compounds with prolonged exposure following oral dosing. The optimized compound (CCT244747) was a potent and highly selective CHK1 inhibitor, which modulated the DNA damage response pathway in human tumor xenografts and showed antitumor activity in combination with genotoxic chemotherapies and as a single agent.

INTRODUCTION Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is a key integrator of intracellular signals triggered by activated immunoreceptors, including Bcell receptors (BCR) and Fc receptors, which are important for the development and function of lymphoid cells. Given the clinical efficacy of Bcell depletion in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, pharmacological modulation of Bcells...
متن کاملThe conversion of [(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)amino]azines into azine fused thiazole-2-carbonitriles.
The thermolysis of several N-(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)pyridin-n-amines (where n = 2, 3 and 4) gives a mixture of thiazolopyridine-2-carbonitriles in low to moderate yields. Introduction, by design, of a chlorine substituent at the C2 or C4 position of N-(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)pyridin-3-amine and other selected azines enables a BnEt(3)NI mediated ANRORC style ring t...

In the mononuclear title complex, [Ag(NO(3))(C(10)H(6)N(4))(2)], two κ(2)N:N'-chelating 5-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile ligands surround the Ag(I) atom, forming an N(4)O square-pyramidal coordination geometry with one nitrate anion bonding at the apical site. The two heterocyclic rings of the 5-(2-pyridin-2--yl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile ligand are almost coplanar [dihedral angle = 5.63 (8...

In the mononuclear title complex, [Ag(C(10)H(6)N(4))(2)]ClO(4), the Ag(I) ion is surrounded by two 5-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile ligands, forming a considerably distorted square-planar N(4)-coordination geometry, with two short and two long Ag-N distances. Each perchlorate anion links two mononuclear coordination units through C-H⋯O(perchlorate) hydrogen bonding, forming an infinite t...
