Synthesis
5-Bromo-1-tosyl-1H-indole (2)
To a solution of 5-bromoindole (2.0 g, 10 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 10
mL) was added 490 mg (20 mmol) of sodium hydride under N2 atmosphere. After stirring for
1 hr at RT, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 ºC and was added 2.14 g (11.2 mmol) of
toluenesulfonyl chloride. The reaction mixture was stirred at same temperature for 3 hr. After
removal of solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. Ethyl
acetate layer was washed with water and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, removal of
solvent under reduced provided 5-bromo-1-tosyl-1H-indole in quantitative yield (3.90 g); 1H

Biochemical Assay
The potency of the compounds in this study was measured using a fluorescence
polarization assay method. Enzyme, substrate, and ATP were prepared in kinase reaction
buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.2), 10 mM MgCl2, 0.05% NaN3, 0.01% Triton X-
100 and 2 mM DTT. In 384-well black flat bottom polystyrene plates, the IMAP PIM kinase
assays were formatted using 10 L reaction volumes consisting of 2.5 L compound, 2.5 L
PIM1 (1 nM) or PIM2 (1 nM) or PIM3 (1 nM), 2.5 L ATP and 2.5 L 5-FAM-labeled BAD
peptide (100 nM). The final concentrations of ATP were 30 M, 5 M and 20 M for PIM1,
PIM2 and PIM3, respectively. Following 90 min incubation at room temperature, IMAP
binding reagent (Molecular Devices, solution containing 75% Buffer A: 25% Buffer B and a
1 in 600 dilution of beads) was added to each well to stop the reaction. After incubation for a
2-hr at room temperature, the fluorescence polarization was measured on an Infinity F200
plate reader (Tecan) at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of
530 nm. The data were then fitted to a 4-parameter logistic equation shown below and IC50s
were determined using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla).

Cell culture conditions and viability assays
MV4-11 (human acute myelocytic leukemia cell line) cells purchased from the American
Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were grown in Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s
Medium (IMDM, ATCC, Manassas, VA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco-
BRL, Grand Island, NY), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 g/mL streptomycin at 37°C in a 5%
CO2 humidified atmosphere. K562 (human erythromyeloblastoid leukemia cell line) and
Jurkat clone E6-1 (human acute T cell leukemia) cells were purchased from Korean Cell Line
Bank (KCBL, Seoul, Korea). K562 and Jurkat cells were grown in RPMI 1640 (Gibco-BRL,
Grand Island, NY), supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin and
100 g/mL streptomycin. Cell viability was measured using the CellTiter 96R AQUES One
Solution Cell Proliferation Assay (MTS) from Promega (Madison, WI). MV4-11 and Jurkat
cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at the density 200,000 cells per well. K562 cells were
seeded at 10,000 cells per well. The next day, tested drugs at indicated concentrations were
added and incubated at 37°C. After 24 h, 20 L of MTS solution was added to each well, and
the plates were incubated at 37°C for 4 h. The absorbance of each well was measured at 490
nm with a microplate reader (SPECTRA max 340PC, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA).
