However, a selective CDK2 inhibitor has yet to be clinically approved. With the desire to discover novel, potent, and selective CDK2 inhibitors, the phenylsulfonamide moiety of our previous lead compound was bioisosterically replaced with pyrazole derivatives, affording a novel series of ,4-di(1-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-amines that exhibited potent CDK2 inhibitory activity.

Thus, CDK2 has become an attractive target for the development of new anticancer therapies and for the amelioration of the resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Bioisosteric replacement of the thiazole moiety of CDKI-73, a clinically trialled CDK inhibitor, by a pyrazole group afforded 9 and 19 that displayed potent CDK2-cyclin E inhibition (K = 0.
