Wang et al. synthesized imidazopyridine derivatives based on the Nek2 kinase inhibitor MBM-55 (80) (see Figure 8 for structures of compounds 80–87) and evaluated these compounds for activity against the MGC-803 gastric cancer cell line (high expression of Nek2 frequently occurs in gastric cancer cell lines) [88]. This evidence concerns the gene NEK2 and gastric cancer.
