• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  Co-crystallisation of the imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivative 15 (3-chloro-N-(4-morpholinophenyl)-6-(pyridin-3-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-amine) with Aurora-A provided an insight into the interactions of this class of compound with Aurora kinases. This led to the design and synthesis of potent Aurora-A inhibitors demonstrating up to 70-fold selectivity in cell-based Aurora kinase pharmacodynamic biomarker assays.
