Abstract

Proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus (PIM) kinases are proto-oncogenic kinases involved in the regulation of several cellular processes. PIM kinases are promising targets for new drug development because they play a major role in many cancer-specific pathways, such as survival, apoptosis, proliferation, cell cycle regulation, and migration. Here, 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as potent pan-PIM kinase inhibitors. Optimized compounds showed single-digit nanomolar IC50 values against all three PIM kinases with high selectivity over 14 other kinases. Compound 17 inhibited the growth of Molm-16 cell lines (EC50 = 14 nM) and modulated the expression of pBAD and p4EBP1 in a dose-dependent manner.
