Abstract: Coenzyme A (CoA) is a highly selective inhibitor of the mitotic regulatory enzyme Aurora A kinase, with a novel mode of action. Herein we report the design and synthesis of analogues of CoA as inhibitors of Aurora A kinase. We have designed and synthesised modified CoA structures as potential inhibitors, combining dicarbonyl mimics of the pyrophosphate group with a conserved adenosine headgroup and different length pantetheine-based tail groups. An analogue with a -SH group at the end of the pantotheinate tail showed the best IC50, probably due to the formation of a covalent bond with Aurora A kinase Cys290.
