2,4-Diaryl-2,5-dihydropyrroles have been discovered to be novel, potent and water-soluble inhibitors of KSP, an emerging therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. A potential concern for these basic KSP inhibitors (1 and 2) was hERG binding that can be minimized by incorporation of a potency-enhancing C2 phenol combined with neutral N1 side chains. Aqueous solubility was restored to these, and other, non-basic inhibitors, through a phosphate prodrug strategy.
