Page/Page column 22, (2008/06/13)
The present invention concerns compounds and their use to treat cell proliferative diseases such as cancer. Compounds of the present invention display significant potency as kinase inhibitors, cause the downregulation of c-myc, and inhibit the growth and survival of cancerous cell lines.

A novel series of N-(phenylalkyl)cinnamides related to N-(4- phenylbutyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-β-cyanocinnamide (6, an EGFR-K inhibitor with high antiproliferative activity) was synthesized and tested for antagonism at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subtypes. Potency and subunit selectivity were assayed by electrical recordings in Xenopus oocytes expressing three binary combinations of cloned rat NMDA receptor subunits: NR1A expressed in combination with either NR2A, NR2B, or NR2C. The N- (phenylalkyl)cinnamides are selective antagonists of NR1(A)/2B receptors. Assayed under steady-state conditions, N-(4-phenylbutyl)-4-hydroxycinnamide (16) has an IC50 value of 77 nM and > 1000-fold selectivity with respect to NR1(A)/2A and NR1(A)/2C receptors. Potency at α1 adrenergic receptors is low for the four cinnamides tested. Inhibition of NR1(A)/2B receptors does not correlate with EGFR and ErbB2/neu tyrosine kinase inhibitor activity. The N-(phenylalkyl)cinnamide series we describe provides a novel and structurally diverse framework for designing new NR2B-selective NMDA antagonists as potential CNS therapeutics.
