Inhibition of protein kinases in the fight against disease remains a constant challenge for medicinal chemists, who have screened multitudes of predominantly planar organic scaffolds, natural and synthetic, to identify potent - albeit not always selective - kinase inhibitors. Herein, in an effort to investigate the potential biological utility of metalbased compounds as inhibitors against the cancer-relevant targets mitogen-activated protein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase 2, we explore various parameters in planar platinum(II) complexes with substituted phenanthroline ligands and aliphatic diamine chelate co-ligands, to identify combinations that yield promising inhibitory activity. The individual ligands' steric requirements as well as their pattern of hydrogen bond donors/acceptors appear to alter inhibitory potency when modulated. © Springer-Verlag 2011.
