Abstract
6-Alkoxy-2-aminopurine derivatives are potent inhibitors of Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs), with some selectivity towards CDK2 and thus have potential as cancer therapeutics. Development of these inhibitors for targeting CDK2-cyclin A/E complexes has previously involved a thorough investigation of structure activity relationships of the C-2 amine moiety. However, the established synthesis of these compounds, which uses the alcohol reagent as solvent, limits the complexity of the O-6 functionality which is required for more selective targeting. Herein we report an improved and refocused synthesis of a model CDK2 inhibitor (NU6247), affording convenient access to inhibitors with O-6 substituents whose parent alcohol is not amenable for use as solvent. This revised synthesis allows for a meaningful exploration of the O-6 position in this class of CDK2 inhibitors.
