Abstract

Several series of thieno[2-3-b]pyridine analogues were synthesized and screened for inhibitory activity against eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF2-K). Modifications around several regions of the lead molecules were made, with a ring fusion adjacent to the nitrogen on the thienopyridine core being critical for activity. The most active compound 34 shows an IC50 of 170 nM against eEF2-K in vitro.
