A new class of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors was discovered using a rationally designed pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-3-carboxamide scaffold. Preliminary studies identified (R)-(2,2-dimethylcyclopentyl)amine as a preferred C4 substituent on the pyrrolopyridazine core (3b). Incorporation of amino group to 3-position of the cyclopentane ring resulted in a series of JAK3 inhibitors (4g-4j) that potently inhibited IFNγ production in an IL2-induced whole blood assay and displayed high functional selectivity for JAK3-JAK1 pathway relative to JAK2. Further modifications led to the discovery of an orally bioavailable (2-fluoro-2-methylcyclopentyl)amino analogue 5g which is a nanomolar inhibitor of both JAK3 and TYK2, functionally selective for the JAK3-JAK1 pathway versus JAK2, and active in a human whole blood assay.
利用合理设计的吡咯并[1,2 - b]哒嗪 - 3 - 甲酰胺支架发现了一类新型的 Janus 激酶(JAK)抑制剂。初步研究确定(R)-(2,2 - 二甲基环戊基)胺是吡咯并哒嗪核心(3b)上的优选 C4 取代基。在环戊烷环的 3 位引入氨基得到了一系列 JAK3 抑制剂(4g - 4j),这些抑制剂在 IL2 诱导的全血试验中能有效抑制 IFNγ 的产生,并且相对于 JAK2 对 JAK3 - JAK1 途径表现出高功能选择性。进一步的修饰导致发现了一种口服生物可利用的(2 - 氟 - 2 - 甲基环戊基)氨基类似物 5g,它是 JAK3 和 TYK2 的纳摩尔级抑制剂,相对于 JAK2 对 JAK3 - JAK1 途径具有功能选择性,并且在人全血试验中具有活性。
