Abstract

The synthesis of a small library of resorcylic acid lactones and evaluation of their biological properties as kinase inhibitors is described. Within the series E-enones were found more active than corresponding Z-enones as inhibitors of a subset of kinases containing a conserved cysteine. Replacement of the enone moiety with a β-haloketone group led to compounds with an interesting kinase selectivity profile and also antiproliferative activity against Jurkat cells. An E-enone derivative also showed activity against capillary tube formation based on a co-culture of primary human umbilical cord endothelial cells (HUVECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs).
