Abstract:
It was discovered that a number of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors containing the pyrazole core structure exhibited high inhibitory potency against broad-range CDKs and corresponding anti-proliferative activities. This information guided us to design and synthesize a series of 1,3-diphenyl-N-(phenylcarbamothioyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives (5a-10d), and evaluate their biological activities as CDKs inhibitors. Among all the synthesized compounds, compound 10b inhibited CDK2 with an IC50 value of 25 nM, counteracting tumor cell proliferation of three cancer cell lines (H460, MCF-7, A549) in the micromolar range (from 0.75 μM to 4.21 μM), In addition, flow cytometry indicated that compound 10b could induce cycle G0/G1 phase arrest in A549 cells with a dose dependent. Taken together, compound 10b could be selected for further preclinical evaluation.

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.
