The discovery of reverse tricyclic pyridone JAK2 inhibitors. Part 2: Lead optimization
2014
Abstract This communication discusses the discovery of novel reverse tricyclic pyridones as inhibitors of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). By using a kinase cross screening approach coupled with molecular modeling, a unique inhibitor–water interaction was discovered to impart excellent broad kinase selectivity. Improvements in intrinsic potency were achieved by utilizing a rapid library approach, while targeted structural changes to lower lipophilicity led to improved rat pharmacokinetics. This multi-pronged approach led to the identification of 31 , which demonstrated encouraging rat pharmacokinetics, in vivo potency, and excellent off-target kinase selectivity.
