Design and synthesis of novel protein kinase CK2 inhibitors on the base of 4-aminothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines.

An extension of our previous research work has resulted in a number of new ATP-competitive CK2 inhibitors that have been identified among 4-aminothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives. The most active compounds obtained in the course of the research are 3-(5-p-tolyl-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylamino)-benzoic acid, 5e (NHTP23, IC50 = 0.01 μM), 3-(5-phenyl-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylamino)-benzoic acid, 5g (NHTP25, IC50 = 0.

Discovery and characterization of synthetic 4'-hydroxyflavones-New CK2 inhibitors from flavone family.

Human protein kinase CK2 is one of the most intriguing enzymes, which functional role still remains unclear despite of decades of studying. At present there is abundant evidence pointing to the fact that inhibitors of CK2 could be used as pharmaceutical agents to treat cancer, viral infections and inflammatory diseases. Here we report novel synthetic flavone inhibitors, 4'-hydroxyflavones, possessing high activity towards CK2.

Structure-based discovery of novel flavonol inhibitors of human protein kinase CK2.

Serine/threonine protein kinase CK2 controls vast variety of fundamental processes in cell life; however, despite long period of study, its functional role is not completely determined. CK2 has a significant pathogenic potential and its activity is strictly associated with the development of various kinds of disorders. There are a growing number of facts that inhibitors of CK2 could be used as pharmaceutical agents for the cancer treatment, viral infections, and inflammatory diseases.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted (thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylthio)carboxylic acids as inhibitors of human protein kinase CK2.

A novel series of substituted (thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylthio)carboxylic acids has been synthesized and tested in vitro towards human protein kinase CK2. It was revealed that the most active compounds inhibiting CK2 are 3-{[5-(4-methylphenyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl]thio}propanoic acid and 3-{[5-(4-ethoxyphenyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl]thio}propanoic acid (IC(50) values are 0.1 μM and 0.
