Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a fundamental regulator of mitotic progression whose overexpression is often associated with oncogenesis and therefore is recognized as an attractive therapeutic target in the treatment of proliferative diseases. Here we discuss the Structure-activity relationship of the 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline class of compounds that emerged from a high throughput screening (HTS) campaign as potent inhibitors of Plk1 kinase. Furthermore, we describe the discovery of 49, 8-{[2-methoxy-5-(4- methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]amino}-1-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h] quinazoline-3-carboxamide, as a highly potent and specific ATP mimetic inhibitor of Plk1 (IC50 = 0.007 μM) as well as its crystal structure in complex with the methylated Plk136-345 construct. Compound 49 was active in cell proliferation against different tumor cell lines with IC 50 values in the submicromolar range and active in vivo in the HCT116 xenograft model where it showed 82% tumor growth inhibition after repeated oral administration.

A series of 3',6,7-substituted 2-phenyl-4-quinolones were designed and synthesized as antimitotic antitumor agents. All compounds showed cytotoxic effects (log GI50/=-4.0; log drug molar concentration required to cause 50percent inhibition) against the growth of a variety of human tumor cell lines, including those derived from solid tumors such as non-small cell lung, colon, central nervous system, ovary, prostate, and breast cancers, when evaluated in the National Cancer Institute's 60 human tumor cell line in vitro screen. The most potent compound (26) demonstrated strong cytotoxic effects with GI50 values in the nanomolar or subnanomolar range in almost all the tumor cell lines. Compound 26 was also a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and radiolabeled colchicine binding to tubulin, with activity comparable to those of the potent antimitotic natural products colchicine, podophyllotoxin, and combretastatin A-4.

The synthesis, cardiac fraction III cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE-III) inhibition, and positive inotropic activity of a series of 2(1H)-quinazolinones are reported.A general synthesis of the series involved the cyclization of 2-aminoacetophenones with potassium cyanate in acetic acid.Modifications at the 4-position of the quinazoline nucleus were best achieved by formation of the intermediate N1-acyl-N3-phenylurea from the substituted phenyl isocyanate and appropriate carboxamide.PPA was used to ring close to the quinazoline product.Generally the SAR for the series paralleled the five-point model previously published for PDE-III inhibition.The most active analogue of the series was 5,6-dimethoxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone (1) (ORF 16600), which had about twice the intravenous potency of amrinone.Compound 1 is currently under development as an orally active cardiotonic.
