RESUMO
Inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has emerged as an attractive strategy for the development of novel oncology therapeutics. Herein is described the utilization of an in vivo screening approach with integrated efficacy and tolerability parameters to identify candidate CDK inhibitors with a suitable balance of activity and tolerability. This approach has resulted in the identification of SCH 727965, a potent and selective CDK inhibitor that is currently undergoing clinical evaluation.
RESUMO
A novel class of Janus tyrosine kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibitors based on a 2-benzimidazoylpurinone core structure is described. Through substitution of the benzimidazoyl moiety and optimization of the N-9 substituent of the purinone, compound 24 was identified incorporating a chroman-based functional group. Compound 24 shows excellent kinase activity, good oral bioavailability and demonstrates efficacy in an acute mechanistic mouse model through inhibition of interleukin-2 (IL-2) induced interferon-gamma (INF-gamma) production.
