Phenylamino-pyrimidine (PAP) — derivatives: a new class of potent and highly selective PDGF-receptor autophosphorylation inhibitors

Phenylamino-pyrimidines represent a novel class of inhibitors of the PDGF-receptor autophosphorylation with a high degree of selectivity versus other tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases. Optimum activity of ca 10 nM (IC50) was observed when the phenylamino-group which is attached to the pyrimidine carries a benzamide-moiety with a lipophilic substituent in 4-position.
