Research Abstract

The structure-based design of some CDK2 inhibitors with a 3-(benzylidene)indolin-2-one scaffold as potential anticancer agents was realized. Target compounds were obtained as E/Z mixtures and were resolved to corresponding E- and Z-diastereomers. In silico studies using MOE 2019.01 software revealed better docking on the targeted enzyme for the Z-diastereomer compared to the E-one. A time-dependent kinetic isomerization study was carried out for the inversion of E/Z diastereomers in DMSO-d6 at room temperature, and were found to obey the first order kinetic reactions. Furthermore, a determination of the kinetic inter-conversion rate order by graphical analysis method and calculation of the rate constant and half-life of this kinetic process were carried out. For the prediction of the stability of the diastereomer(s), a good multiple regression equation was generated between the reaction rates of isomerization and some QM parameters with significant p value.
