Ribosome S6 Protein Kinase 2 (RSK2) is involved in many signal pathways such as cell growth, proliferation, survival and migration in tumors. Also, RSK2 can phosphorylate YB-1, which induces the expression of tumor initiating cells, leading to poor prognosis of triple negative breast cancer. Herein, phenyl sulfonamide was introduced to a series of 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamide derivatives to obtain novel RSK2 inhibitors which were evaluated RSK2 inhibitory activity and proliferation inhibitory activity against MDA-MB-468. The newly introduced sulfonamide group was observed to form a hydrogen bond with target residue LEU-74 which played crucial role in activity. The results showed that most of compounds exhibited RSK2 enzyme inhibitory with IC50 up to 1.7 nM. Compound B1 exhibited the strongest MDA-MB-468 cell anti-proliferation activity (IC50 = 0.13 μM). The invivo tumor growth inhibitory activities were evaluated with compounds B1-B3 in MDA-MB-468 xenograft model which gave up to 54.6% of TGI.
