Abstract

Aim. Basing of our earlier finding of inhibitory activity of 5-(4-quinazolylamino)-3-arylindazoles against human protein kinase CK2, the synthesis of nitrogen containing heterocyclic derivatives was performed in order to find novel inhibitors of this kinase. Methods. Organic synthesis, NMR spectroscopy. Results. A series of 4-chloroquinazolines, 4-chloroquinolines, 4-chloropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and 4-chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine was synthesized. Reaction of these intermediates with 5-amino-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-indazole gave us a series of 14 novel hetarocyclic derivatives of 5-amino-3-arylindazole. Conclusions. Besides new quinazoline derivatives – the quinoline and thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives of similar structure but different polarity were obtained. Also a series of 1-methylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives with decreased lipophilicity was synthesized.
Keywords: synthesis, indazole, quinazoline, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, protein kinase CK2 inhibitor
