Methyl 9-anilinothiazolo [5, 4-f] quinazoline-2-carbimidates 1 (EHT 5372) and 2 (EHT 1610)
are strong inhibitors of DYRK's family kinases. The crystal structures of the complex revealed
a noncanonical binding mode of compounds 1 and 2 in DYRK2, explaining the remarkable
selectivity and potency of these inhibitors. The structural data and comparison presented
here provide therefore a template for further improvement of this inhibitor class and for the
development of novel inhibitors selectively targeting DYRK kinases.
