ABSTRACT
In order to discover and develop the new RSK kinase inhibitor, 50 pyridyl biaryl derivatives were designed and synthesized with LJH685 as the lead compound and their anti-tumor ability was tested. The results showed that the ability of 7d compound to inhibit the phosphorylation of YB-1 was comparable to that of LJH685. Among them, after preliminary screening, compound 7d showed good activity in inhibiting cell proliferation. Therefore, we took 7d as an example and performed molecular docking analysis on it. Judging from the overlapping combination diagram with LJH685, the results have verified that compound 7d has a similar skeleton to LJH685 and has a similar docking effect with RSK. Therefore, compound 7d is in line with the RSK inhibitor we designed and could be developed to a promising anti-tumor drug in the future.
