RESUMEN
IκB kinase ß (IKKß or IKK2) is a key regulator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and has received attention as a therapeutic target. Herein we report on the optimization of a series of 3,5-disubstituted-indole-7-carboxamides for oral activity. In doing so, we focused attention on potency, ligand efficiency (LE), and physicochemical properties and have identified compounds 24 and (R)-28 as having robust in vivo activity.
RESUMEN
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is aberrantly activated in many disease states, including tumor cells, either by growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases or by the genetic mutation and amplification of key pathway components. A variety of PI3K isoforms play differential roles in cancers. As such, the development of PI3K inhibitors from novel compound classes should lead to differential pharmacological and pharmacokinetic profiles and allow exploration in various indications, combinations, and dosing regimens. A screening effort aimed at the identification of PI3Kγ inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases led to the discovery of the novel 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline class of PI3K inhibitors. A subsequent lead optimization program targeting cancer therapy focused on inhibition of PI3Kα and PI3Kß. Herein, initial structure-activity relationship findings for this class and the optimization that led to the identification of copanlisib (BAY 80-6946) as a clinical candidate for the treatment of solid and hematological tumors are described.

Tyrosine ureas had been identified as potent muscarinic receptor antagonists with promising in vivo activity. Controlling the stereochemistry of the chiral quaternary ammonium center had proved to be a serious issue for this series, however. Herein we describe the preparation and SAR of tyrosine urea antagonists containing achiral quaternary ammonium centers. The most successful such moiety was the 2-methylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazol-7-ium group which yielded highly potent antagonists with long duration of action in an inhaled animal model of bronchoconstriction.
