The trisubstituted purine myoseverin has been recently identified as a novel inhibitor of microtubule assembly. To analyze the effects of modifying its heterocyclic skeleton, we prepared 8-azapurine and pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of myoseverin and compared their biological activities. Rearrangement of nitrogen atoms in the heterocycle changes the affinity of the compounds to purified tubulin, as demonstrated by the results of polymerization assays, and affects the proliferation of cancer cell lines. Surprisingly, compound E2GG, a pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine analogue of myoseverin, displayed inhibitory activity towards both tubulin polymerization and the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases 1, 2 and 7. Such a dual specificity-inhibitor offers a starting point for developing a novel class of antiproliferative agents.

D011687 Purines A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.
D011720 Pyrazoles Azoles of two nitrogens at the 1,2 positions, next to each other, in contrast with IMIDAZOLES in which they are at the 1,3 positions.
D011743 Pyrimidines A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
