Through cell-based screening of our kinase-directed compound collection, we discovered that a subset of N-phenyl-4-(thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amines were potent cytotoxic agents against cancer cell lines, suppressed mitotic histone H3 phosphorylation, and caused aberrant mitotic phenotypes. It was subsequently established that these compounds were in fact potent inhibitors of aurora A and B kinases. It was shown that potency and selectivity of aurora kinase inhibition correlated with the presence of a substituent at the aniline para-position in these compounds. The anticancer effects of lead compound 4-methyl-5-(2-(4- morpholinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)thiazol-2-amine (18; Ki values of 8.0 and 9.2 nM for aurora A and B, respectively) were shown to emanate from cell death following mitotic failure and increased polyploidy as a consequence of cellular inhibition of aurora A and B kinases. Preliminary in vivo assessment showed that compound 18 was orally bioavailable and possessed anticancer activity. Compound 18 (CYC116) is currently undergoing phase I clinical evaluation in cancer patients.

Following the identification through virtual screening of 4-(2,4-dimethyl-thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamines as moderately potent inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (CDK2), a CDK inhibitor analogue program was initiated. The first aims were to optimize potency and to evaluate the cellular mode of action of lead candidate molecules. Here the synthetic chemistry, the structure-guided design approach, and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) that led to the discovery of 2-anilino-4-(thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidine ATP-antagonistic CDK2 inhibitors, many with very low nM Kis against CDK2, are reported. Furthermore, X-ray crystal structures of four representative analogues from our chemical series in complex with CDK2 are presented, and these structures are used to rationalize the observed biochemical SARs. Finally results are reported that show, using the most potent CDK2 inhibitor compound from the current series, that the observed antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects are consistent with cellular CDK2 and CDK9 inhibition.
