Title: Discovery of (R)-5-((5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-4-(methylamino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)-3-(piperidin-3-yloxy)picolinonitrile, a novel CHK1 inhibitor for hematologic malignancies.

Abstract: Through virtual screening, we identified the lead compound MCL1020, which exhibited modest CHK1 inhibitory activity. Then a series of 5-(pyrimidin-2-ylamino)picolinonitrile derivatives as CHK1 inhibitors were discovered by further rational optimization. One promising molecule, (R)-17, whose potency was one of the best, had an IC50 of 0.4 nM with remarkable selectivity (>4300-fold CHK1 vs. CHK2). Compound (R)-17 effectively inhibited the growth of malignant hematopathy cell lines especially Z-138 (IC50: 0.013 μM) and displayed low affinity for hERG (IC50 > 40 μM). Moreover, (R)-17 significantly suppressed the tumor growth in Z-138 cell inoculated xenograft model (20 mg/kg I.V., TGI = 90.29%) as a single agent with body weight unaffected. Taken together, our data demonstrated compound (R)-17 could be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
