The RSK2 kinase is the downstream effector of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway, that is often aberrantly activated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recently, we reported a structure-activity study for BI-D1870, the pan-RSK inhibitor, and identified pteridinones that inhibited cellular RSK2 activity that did not result in concomitant cytotoxicity. In the current study, we developed a series of pyrrolopyrimidines and purines to replace the pteridinone ring of BI-D1870, with a range of N-substituents that extend to the substrate binding site to probe complementary interactions, while retaining the 2,6-difluorophenol-4-amino group to maintain interactions with the hinge domain and the DFG motif. Several compounds inhibited cellular RSK2 activity, and we identified compounds that uncoupled cellular RSK2 inhibition from potent cytotoxicity in the MOLM-13 AML cell line. These N-substituted probes have revealed an opportunity to further examine substituents that extend from the ATP- to the substrate-binding site may confer improved RSK potency and selectivity.

Renewed interest in covalent inhibitors of enzymes implicated in disease states has afforded several agents targeted at protein kinases of relevance to cancers. We now report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-ethynylpurines that act as covalent inhibitors of Nek2 by capturing a cysteine residue (Cys22) close to the catalytic domain of this protein kinase. Examination of the crystal structure of the non-covalent inhibitor 3-((6-cyclohexylmethoxy-7H-purin-2-yl)amino)benzamide in complex with Nek2 indicated that replacing the alkoxy with an ethynyl group places the terminus of the alkyne close to Cys22 and in a position compatible with the stereoelectronic requirements of a Michael addition. A series of 6-ethynylpurines was prepared and a structure activity relationship (SAR) established for inhibition of Nek2. 6-Ethynyl-N-phenyl-7H-purin-2-amine [IC50 0.15 μM (Nek2)] and 4-((6-ethynyl-7H-purin-2-yl)amino)benzenesulfonamide (IC50 0.14 μM) were selected for determination of the mode of inhibition of Nek2, which was shown to be time-dependent, not reversed by addition of ATP and negated by site directed mutagenesis of Cys22 to alanine. Replacement of the ethynyl group by ethyl or cyano abrogated activity. Variation of substituents on the N-phenyl moiety for 6-ethynylpurines gave further SAR data for Nek2 inhibition. The data showed little correlation of activity with the nature of the substituent, indicating that after sufficient initial competitive binding to Nek2 subsequent covalent modification of Cys22 occurs in all cases. A typical activity profile was that for 2-(3-((6-ethynyl-9H-purin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetamide [IC50 0.06 μM (Nek2); GI50 (SKBR3) 2.2 μM] which exhibited >5-10-fold selectivity for Nek2 over other kinases; it also showed > 50% growth inhibition at 10 μM concentration against selected breast and leukaemia cell lines. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed that binding of the compound to the Nek2 ATP-binding site resulted in covalent modification of Cys22. Further studies confirmed that 2-(3-((6-ethynyl-9H-purin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetamide has the attributes of a drug-like compound with good aqueous solubility, no inhibition of hERG at 25 μM and a good stability profile in human liver microsomes. It is concluded that 6-ethynylpurines are promising agents for cancer treatment by virtue of their selective inhibition of Nek2. This journal is

Paragraph 0019; 0025; 0026, (2017/10/13)
The invention discloses a 2 - fluoro adenine synthesis method. Cheap 6 - chloropurine as raw materials, to the 9 bit NH to tetrahydropyranyl protection, then and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride reaction, in 2 introduces nitro, then and NH4 F reaction, nitro into atomic fluorine will at the same time, getting rid of the tetrahydro-pyranyl, finally being ammonia saturated methanol solution, the 6 position chlorine atom is converted into amino, to obtain 2 - fluoro adenine, total yield of 58%. The method easily obtained and cheap materials, to avoid the use of expensive and harmful toxic reagent, avoid the use of dangerous and corrosivity of the operation steps, and the reaction scale expanded to 200 g of the scale, the yield is not obviously dropped. The invention application for 2 - fluoro adenine synthesis provides a new synthetic pathway, has potential application prospect. (by machine translation)
