Abstract: N-Aryl aminothiazoles 6-9 were prepared from 2-bromothiazole 5 and found to be CDK inhibitors. In cells they act as potent cytotoxic agents. Selectivity for CDK1, CDK2, and CDK4 was dependent of the nature of the N-aryl group and distinct from the CDK2 selective N-acyl analogues. The N-2-pyridyl analogues 7 and 19 showed pan CDK inhibitory activity. Elaborated analogues 19 and 23 exhibited anticancer activity in mice against P388 murine leukemia. The solid-state structure of 7 bound to CDK2 shows a similar binding mode to the N-acyl analogues.
