Abstract
N‐[2‐Methyl‐5‐(triazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]pyrimidin‐2‐amine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their potential use as inhibitors of Bcr‐Abl. The design is based on the bioisosterism between the 1,2,3‐triazole ring and the amide group. The synthesis involves a copper(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) as the key step, with the exclusive production of anti‐(1,4)‐triazole derivatives. One of the compounds obtained shows general activity similar to that of imatinib; in particular, it was observed to be more effective in decreasing the fundamental function of cdc25A phosphatases in the K‐562 cell line.
