Abstract:
On the basis of stereo specific information obtained from crystal structures of CDK2, indole and chromene analogues were designed by suitably substituting the pharmacophores on their moiety and docked with target protein for calculating binding affinities. The binding affinities are represented in glide score. (5E)-5-[(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methylidene]-2,4,6-trioxotetrahydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ide (I1), (5E)-5-(1H-indol-3-ylmethylidene)-2,4,6-trioxotetrahydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ide (I2) and 2-amino-4-(4-methyl phenyl)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile (C9) were selected for synthesis and biological testing based on vital interactions. (5E)-5-(1H-indol-3-ylmethylidene)-2,4,6-trioxotetrahydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ide(I2) and 2-amino-4-(4-methyl phenyl)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile (C9) were proved to be active against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
