A series of substituted benzoylamino-2-[(4-benzyl)thio]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles has been discovered as potent Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Molecular docking simulations on the Abl tyrosine kinase were conducted in order to rationalize the SAR of the synthesized inhibitors. The most active compound identified from the enzymatic screening (6a) showed interesting inhibitory activity on Imatinib-sensitive murine myeloid 3B clone and Bcr-Abl-independent Imatinib-resistant leukemia cells. Surprisingly, 6a was also proved to act as differentiating inducers in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60).
