NIMA-related kinase 1 (Nek1) has lately garnered attention for its widespread function in ciliogenesis, apoptosis, and the DNA-damage response. Despite its involvement in various diseases and its potential as a cancer drug target, no directed medicinal chemistry efforts toward inhibitors against this dark kinase are published. Here, we report the structure-guided design of a potent small-molecule Nek1 inhibitor, starting from a scaffold identified by kinase cross-screening analysis. Seven lead compounds were identified in silico and evaluated for their inhibitory activity. The top compound, 10f, was further profiled for efficacy, toxicity, and bioavailability in a zebrafish polycystic kidney disease model. Administration of 10f caused the expansion of fluorescence-labeled proximal convoluted tubules, supporting our hypothesis that Nek1-inhibition causes cystic kidneys in zebrafish embryos. Compound 10f displayed insignificant inhibition in 48 of 50 kinases in a selectivity test panel. The findings provide a powerful tool to further elucidate the function and pharmacology of this neglected kinase.

A Rh-catalyzed ortho-amidation cyclocondensation sequence gave a range of 4-aminoquinazolines in high yield. The method features a remarkably mild C(sp2)-H activation step and can be exploited to rapidly access compounds with established biological activity.

The development of a novel series of imidazole pyrimidine amides as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors is described. The series was found to have much improved CDK2 inhibition and potent in vitro anti-proliferative effects against cancer cell lines. Control of overall lipophilicity was important to achieve good in vitro potency along with acceptable physiochemical properties and margins against inhibition of both CYP isoforms and the hERG potassium ion channel. A compound with an attractive overall balance of properties was profiled in vivo and possessed suitable physiochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles for oral dosing.
