A series of N-phenyl-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-amines, 4-indazolyl-N- phenylpyrimidin-2-amines and N-phenyl-4-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-pyrimidin-2- amines have been synthesized. Their anti-proliferative activities were tested in HCT-116 human colon carcinoma and MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell lines. Many exhibited potent anti-proliferative and CDK9 inhibitory activities. A lead compound 18b demonstrated the ability to reduce the level of Mcl-1 anti-apoptotic protein, to activate caspase 3/7 and induce cancer cell apoptosis.
