Abstract:
Kinesin Spindle Protein (KSP) or Eg5 is an essential kinesin that is involved in spindle separation process during mitosis and also unregulated in certain cancer cells. Inhibitors of this enzyme have proved to be effective to block spindle separation followed by mitotic arrest and apoptosis of the cancer cells. Since this enzyme has two allosteric inhibitor binding sites, it's an excellent target for developing drugs for cancer chemotherapy. Many pyrimidine derivatives have been proved to be active against cancer and other enzymes. In this report, we have synthesized a set ten novel N-(1-(6-acetamido-5-phenylpyrimidin-4-yl)piperidin-3-yl)amide derivatives and have evaluated their activity against the KSP. The SAR of these active compounds was further analyzed using in silico molecular docking studies using GOLD and AutoDock softwares. All these compounds form hydrophobic interaction, aromatic π-π stacking and hydrogen bond efficiently with the Eg5.

01:20Amides to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
Amide reduction requires two equivalents of the reducing agent, acting as a source of hydride ions. As shown in the figure, the reaction is initiated with a nucleophilic attack by the hydride ion at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate.

The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.

Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
