Abstract:
The protein structure guided design of a series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with high potency for human cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is described. Some examples were shown to inhibit the growth of human colon tumour cells, were equipotent for CDK1 and were selective against GSK-3beta and other kinases.
