Dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-related kinase 1A (DYRK1A) is a dual-specificity protein kinase that catalyses phosphorylation and autophosphorylation. Higher DYRK1A expression correlates with cancer, in particular glioblastoma present within the brain. We report here the synthesis and biological evaluation of new heterocyclic diphenolic derivatives designed as novel DYRK1A inhibitors. The generation of these heterocycles such as benzimidazole, imidazole, naphthyridine, pyrazole-pyridines, bipyridine, and triazolopyrazines was made based on the structural modification of the lead DANDY and tested for their ability to inhibit DYRK1A. None of these derivatives showed significant DYRK1A inhibition but provide valuable knowledge around the importance of the 7-azaindole moiety. These data will be of use for developing further structure-activity relationship studies to improve the selective inhibition of DYRK1A.

A series of twelve amides was synthesized via aminolysis of substituted pyrazinecarboxylic acid chlorides with substituted benzylamines. Compounds were characterized with analytical data and assayed in vitro for their antimycobacterial, antifungal, antibacterial and photosynthesis-inhibiting activity. 5-tert-Butyl-6-chloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide (12) has shown the highest antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC = 6.25 μg/mL), as well as against other mycobacterial strains. The highest antifungal activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, the most susceptible fungal strain tested, was found for 5-chloro-N-(3- trifluoromethylbenzyl)- pyrazine-2-carboxamide (2, MIC = 15.62 μmol/L). None of the studied compounds exhibited any activity against the tested bacterial strains. Except for 5-tert-butyl-6-chloro-N-benzylpyrazine-2-carboxamide (9, IC50 = 7.4 μmol/L) and 5-tert-butyl-6-chloro-N-(4-chlorobenzyl) pyrazine-2-carboxamide (11, IC50 = 13.4 μmol/L), only moderate or weak photosynthesis-inhibiting activity in spinach chloroplasts (Spinacia oleracea L.) was detected.
