Abstract

FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have been proven to play a significant role in tumor therapy. Herein, based on the previously reported JAK2/FLT3 Inhibitor 18e, we described the synthesis, structure-activity relationship and biological evaluation of a series of unique 6-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives that inhibited FLT3 and CDK4 kinases. The optimized compound 23k exhibited low nanomolar range activities with IC50 values of 11 and 7 nM for FLT3 and CDK4, respectively. In the MV4-11 xenograft tumor model, the tumor growth inhibition rate of 23k dosed at 200 mg/kg was 67%, suggesting that 23k possessed an antitumor therapeutic effect.
