Title:

Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines: a potent and selective class of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors identified through structure-based hybridisation.

Abstract:

High-throughput screening identified the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and bisanilinopyrimidine series as inhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK4. Comparison of their experimentally-determined binding modes and emerging structure-activity trends led to the development of potent and selective imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine inhibitors for CDK4 and in particular CDK2.
