Abstract
As DYRK1A and 1B inhibitors, 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives were synthesized. Mostly, 3-aryl-5-arylamino compounds (6) and 3,5-diaryl compounds (8 and 9) were prepared and especially, 3,5-diaryl compound 8 and 9 showed excellent DYRK1B inhibitory enzymatic activities with IC50 Values of 3-287 nM. Among them, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl), 5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (8h) exhibited the highest inhibitory enzymatic activity (IC50 = 3 nM) and cell proliferation inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.6 µM) towards HCT116 colon cancer cells. Also compound 8h has excellent inhibitory activities in patient-derived colon cancer organoids model as well as in 3D spheroid assay model of SW480 and SW620. The docking study supported that we confirmed that compound 8h binds to DYRK1B through various hydrogen bonding interactions and hydrophobic interactions.
