New potential inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4: Design and synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives under microwave irradiation

A simple and efficient synthesis of 2-amino pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was accomplished via a three-component reaction under microwave irradiation without catalyst. This method had many dramatic advantages such as the short reaction time, high yield, and broad substrate scope, as well as convenient operation. We provide new series of potential biologically active compounds as inhibitors of Cdk4.
