RESUMO
The introduction of an aryl ring onto the 4-position of the C-6 benzyl amino group of the Cdk inhibitor roscovitine (2), maintained the potent Cdk inhibition demonstrated by roscovitine (2) as well as greatly improving the antiproliferative activity. A series of C-6 biarylmethylamino derivatives was prepared addressing modifications on the C-6 biaryl rings, N-9 and C-2 positions to provide compounds that displayed potent cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines. In particular, derivative 21h demonstrated a >750-fold improvement in the growth inhibition of HeLa cells compared to roscovitine (2).

C-6 Biarylmethylamino purine derivatives of roscovitine (1) inhibit cyclin dependent kinases and demonstrate potent antiproliferative activity. Replacement of the aryl rings of the C-6 biarylmethylamino group with heterobiaryl rings has provided compounds with significantly improved activity. In particular, derivatives 18 g and 9 c demonstrated 1000-fold and 1250-fold improvements, respectively, in the growth inhibition of HeLa cells compared to roscovitine (1).
