    Abstract:
    Several analogues of the 3-substituted-2-oxoindole chemotype were synthesized by condensing isatin or the appropriate haloisatin with some amino acids or histamine under neutral conditions. All the imino derivatives produced were tested for kinase inhibitory properties against three serine/threonine kinases, namely CDK1/cyclin B, CDK5/p25 and GSK3alpha/beta. Most of the histidine derivatives showed inhibitory properties to the three kinases in the low micromolar range. The histamine derivatives were less potent against CDK1/cyclin B and CDK5/p25 and totally inactive against GSK3alpha/beta. So, the management of the carboxyl function may be a tool to impart selectivity in such family of kinases. Docking of 2-[[-5-bromo-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene]amino]-3-(1H-imidazol2-yl)propanoic acid 14 to CDK5/p25 indicates that this compound can interact with the enzyme through four hydrogen bonds; for GSK/3beta, the ligand poses itself in another orientation, also four hydrogen bonds can be formed between the ligand and the receptor, otherwise hydrophobic interactions seem to predominate. Also, all the final compounds were tested for their in vitro antitumor properties against MCF7 (breast), NCI-H460 (lung) and SF268 (CNS) cancer cell lines. None of the synthesized compounds was cytotoxic at 10(-4) molar concentration. Moreover, compounds 13 and 14 were tested for potential antiangiogenic properties by testing their ability to inhibit the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), cord formation and migration in response to chemoattractant. Only compound 14 showed moderate inhibitory properties to HUVECs proliferation and cord formation while its non-brominated derivative 13 did not. Thus, the antiangiogenesis properties are not apparently caused by inhibition of any of the tested kinases.
