Abstract
A series of 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyrimidines have been synthesised and characterised, which exhibited potent CDK inhibition and anti-proliferative activities. The structure-activity relationship is analysed and a rational for CDK9 selectivity is discussed. Compound 9s, possessing appreciable selectivity for CDK9 over other CDKs, is capable of activating caspase 3, reducing the level of Mcl-1 anti-apoptotic protein, and inducing cancer cell apoptosis.
