Pyrrolo[2,3-f]isoquinoline based amino acids, tetracyclic lactams and cyclic ketone analogues are described as novel MK2 inhibitors with IC50 as low as 5 nM and good selectivity profiles against a number of related kinases including ERK, p38α and JNKs. TNFα release was suppressed from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs), and a representative compound inhibited LPS induced TNFα release in mice illustrating the potential of this series to provide orally active MK2 inhibitors. 相似文献

Optimization of kinase selectivity for a set of benzothiophene MK2 inhibitors provided analogs with potencies of less than 500 nM in a cell based assay. The selectivity of the inhibitors can be rationalized by examination of X-ray crystal structures of inhibitors bound to MK2. 相似文献

The fundamental role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in inflammation underlines their importance as therapeutic targets for various inflammatory medical conditions, including infectious, vascular, neurobiological and autoimmune disease. Although decades of research have yielded several p38 inhibitors, most clinical trials have failed, due to lack of selectivity and efficacy in vivo. This underlines the continuous need to screen for novel structures and chemotypes of p38 inhibitors. Here we report an optimized MK2-EGFP translocation assay in a semi-automated image based High Content Analysis (HCA) system to screen a combinatorial library of 3362 proprietary compounds with extensive variations of chemotypes. By determining the levels of redistribution of MK2-EGFP upon activation of the Rac/p38 pathway in combination with compound treatment, new candidates were identified, which modulate p38 activity in living cells. Based on integrated analysis of TNFα release from human whole blood, biochemical kinase activity assays and JNK3 selectivity testing, we show that this cell based assay reveals a high overlap and predictability for cellular efficacy, selectivity and potency of tested compounds. As a result we disclose a new comprehensive short-list of subtype inhibitors which are functional in the low nanomolar range and might provide the basis for further lead-optimization. In accordance to previous reports, we demonstrate that the MK2-EGFP translocation assay is a suitable primary screening approach for p38-MAPK drug development and provide an attractive labor- and cost saving alternative to other cell based methods including determination of cytokine release from hPBMCs or whole blood. 相似文献

We report the discovery of a novel series of ATP-competitive Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibitors based on the 5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine scaffold. The initial leads in this series, compounds 1a and 1h, showed promising potencies, but a lack of selectivity against other isoforms in the JAK family. Computational and crystallographic analysis suggested that the phenyl ether moiety possessed a favorable vector to achieve selectivity. Exploration of this vector resulted in the identification of 12b and 12d, as potent JAK3 inhibitors, demonstrating improved JAK family and kinase selectivity. 相似文献

Mutations within the LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2) gene predispose humans to develop late-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD). The most prevalent of these mutations, G2019S, has been shown to increase LRRK2 kinase activity. Therefore, the discovery of small molecule inhibitors of LRRK2(G2019S) through high-throughput screening (HTS) may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for treating PD. Current biochemical assays monitoring the activity of LRRK2(G2019S) either are radioactive or use short peptidic substrates. Here we describe the development and optimization of a novel HTS AlphaScreen assay for measuring the catalytic activity of full-length LRRK2(G2019S) using its putative physiological protein substrate moesin. The high sensitivity of this optimized 384-well assay allowed the use of enzyme concentrations as low as 0.75 nM. The estimated apparent Km value for adenosine triphosphate (6 μM) using the glutathione S-transferase-moesin substrate was much lower than the one previously reported using LRRKtide, a synthetic peptide derived from moesin. Testing of nonselective kinase inhibitors (staurosporine, H-1152, and Y-27632) generated potencies consistent with published data. Finally, robotic validation of the assay yielded an average Z′ factor of 0.80. Overall, these results indicate that the present HTS AlphaScreen assay might provide a more relevant biochemical approach for the discovery of novel LRRK2(G2019S) inhibitors. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein (MAPKAP) kinase 5 (MK5) deficiency is associated with reduced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 3 (ERK3) (mitogen-activated protein kinase 6) levels, hence we utilized the MK5 knockout mouse model to analyze the physiological functions of the ERK3/MK5 signaling module. MK5-deficient mice displayed impaired dendritic spine formation in mouse hippocampal neurons in vivo. We performed large-scale interaction screens to understand the neuronal functions of the ERK3/MK5 pathway and identified septin7 (Sept7) as a novel interacting partner of ERK3. ERK3/MK5/Sept7 form a ternary complex, which can phosphorylate the Sept7 regulators Binders of Rho GTPases (Borgs). In addition, the brain-specific nucleotide exchange factor kalirin-7 (Kal7) was identified as an MK5 interaction partner and substrate protein. In transfected primary neurons, Sept7-dependent dendrite development and spine formation are stimulated by the ERK3/MK5 module. Thus, the regulation of neuronal morphogenesis is proposed as the first physiological function of the ERK3/MK5 signaling module. 相似文献

Background
Classical mammalian mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways consist of a cascade of three successive phosphorylation events resulting in the phosphorylation of a variety of substrates, including another class of protein kinases referred to as MAPK-activating protein kinases (MAPKAPKs). The MAPKAPKs MK2, MK3 and MK5 are closely related, but MK2 and MK3 are the major downstream targets of the p38MAPK pathway, while MK5 can be activated by the atypical MAPK ERK3 and ERK4, protein kinase A (PKA), and maybe p38MAPK. MK2, MK3, and MK5 can phosphorylate the common substrate small heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a modification that regulates the role of HSP27 in actin polymerization. Both stress and cAMP elevating stimuli can cause F-actin remodeling, but whereas the in vivo role of p38MAPK-MK2 in stress-triggered HSP27 phosphorylation and actin reorganization is well established, it is not known whether MK2 is involved in cAMP/PKA-induced F-actin rearrangements. On the other hand, MK5 can phosphorylate HSP27 and cause cytoskeletal changes in a cAMP/PKA-dependent manner, but its role as HSP27 kinase in stress-induced F-actin remodeling is disputed. Therefore, we wanted to investigate the implication of MK2 and MK5 in stress- and PKA-induced HSP27 phosphorylation.Results
Using HEK293 cells, we show that MK2, MK3, and MK5 are expressed in these cells, but MK3 protein levels are very moderate. Stress- and cAMP-elevating stimuli, as well as ectopic expression of active MKK6 plus p38MAPK or the catalytic subunit of PKA trigger HSP27 phosphorylation, and specific inhibitors of p38MAPK and PKA prevent this phosphorylation. Depletion of MK2, but not MK3 and MK5 diminished stress-induced HSP27 phosphorylation, while only knockdown of MK5 reduced PKA-induced phosphoHSP27 levels. Stimulation of the p38MAPK, but not the PKA pathway, caused activation of MK2.Conclusion
Our results suggest that in HEK293 cells MK2 is the HSP27 kinase engaged in stress-induced, but not cAMP-induced phosphorylation of HSP27, while MK5 seems to be the sole MK to mediate HSP27 phosphorylation in response to stimulation of the PKA pathway. Thus, despite the same substrate specificity towards HSP27, MK2 and MK5 are implicated in different signaling pathways causing actin reorganization. 相似文献8.

A class of inhibitors of mitogen activated protein kinase-activated kinase 2 (MK2) was discovered via high-throughput screening. This compound class demonstrates activity against the enzyme with sub-μM IC50 values, and suppresses LPS-induced TNFα levels in THP-1 cells. MK2 inhibition kinetic measurements indicated mixed binding approaching non-ATP competitive inhibition. 相似文献

Recently some fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitors have shown good efficacy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. In an effort to develop anti-leukemic drugs, we investigated quinolinone derivatives as novel FLT3 inhibitors. Two substituted quinolinones, KR65367 and KR65370 were subjected to FLT3 kinase activity assay and showed potent inhibition against FLT3 kinase activity in vitro, with IC50 of 2.7 and 0.57 nM, respectively. As a measure of selectivity, effects on the activity of other kinases were also tested. Both compounds have negligible activity against Met, Ron, epidermal growth factor receptor, Aurora A, Janus kinase 2, and insulin receptor; with IC50 greater than 10 μM. KR compounds showed strong growth inhibition in MV4;11 AML cells and increased the apoptotic cell death in flow cytometric analyses. A decrease in STAT5 phosphorylation by KR compounds was observed in MV4;11 cells. Furthermore, in vitro evaluation of compounds structurally related to KR65367 and KR65370 showed a good structure-activity relationship. 相似文献

ERK3 and ERK4 are atypical MAPKs in which the canonical TXY motif within the activation loop of the classical MAPKs is replaced by SEG. Both ERK3 and ERK4 bind, translocate, and activate the MAPK-activated protein kinase (MK) 5. The classical MAPKs ERK1/2 and p38 interact with downstream MKs (RSK1–3 and MK2–3, respectively) through conserved clusters of acidic amino acids, which constitute the common docking (CD) domain. In contrast to the classical MAPKs, the interaction between ERK3/4 and MK5 is strictly dependent on phosphorylation of the SEG motif of these kinases. Here we report that the conserved CD domain is dispensable for the interaction of ERK3 and ERK4 with MK5. Using peptide overlay assays, we have defined a novel MK5 interaction motif (FRIEDE) within both ERK4 and ERK3 that is essential for binding to the C-terminal region of MK5. This motif is located within the L16 extension lying C-terminal to the CD domain in ERK3 and ERK4 and a single isoleucine to lysine substitution in FRIEDE totally abrogates binding, activation, and translocation of MK5 by both ERK3 and ERK4. These findings are the first to demonstrate binding of a physiological substrate via this region of the L16 loop in a MAPK. Furthermore, the link between activation loop phosphorylation and accessibility of the FRIEDE interaction motif suggests a switch mechanism for these atypical MAPKs in which the phosphorylation status of the activation loop regulates the ability of both ERK3 and ERK4 to bind to a downstream effector.Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)2 phosphorylation cascades play important roles in the regulation of diverse cellular functions such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis (1, 2). A characteristic and conserved feature of this family of signaling pathways is their organization into modules comprising a sequential three-tiered kinase cascade. This contains a MAPK kinase kinase, a MEK, and the MAPK itself. Four such MAPK signaling modules have been described in mammals: ERK1 and ERK2, the c-Jun N-terminal kinases 1–3, the p38 kinases (p38α/β/γ/δ), and ERK5 (3–7). The MAPK kinase kinases phosphorylate and activate the MEKs, which in turn activate the MAPKs by dual phosphorylation on both the threonine and the tyrosine residue of a highly conserved TXY motif in the kinase activation loop. MAPKs are Ser/Thr kinases, which phosphorylate a wide range of substrates with the minimal consensus sequence (S/T)P (2).ERK4 and its close relative ERK3 are regarded as atypical members of the MAPK family. In contrast to the classical MAPKs, ERK3 and ERK4 harbor an SEG motif in the activation loop and thus lack a second phosphoacceptor site. In addition, protein kinases all possess a conserved APE motif located just C-terminal to the phosphoacceptor sites within subdomain VIII, in which the conserved glutamate is important for maintaining the stability of the kinase domain. In both ERK3 and ERK4, this motif is substituted by SPR, and ERK3 and ERK4 are the only two protein kinases in the human genome with an arginine residue in this position (8). Although they display significant sequence homology (44% identity) with ERK1 and ERK2 within their kinase domains, both ERK3 and ERK4 have unique C-terminal extensions, which account for the large differences in size observed between ERK1/2 (∼360 amino acids) and ERK3/ERK4 (721/587 amino acids). Whereas classical MAPKs have been highly conserved throughout evolution, with examples found in both unicellular and multicellular organisms, ERK3 and ERK4 are only present in vertebrates. Finally, in contrast to many of the classical MAPKs, the regulation, substrate specificity, and physiological functions of ERK3 and ERK4 are poorly understood. Although ERK3 and ERK4 are very similar to each other, there are significant differences between them. For instance, whereas ERK4, like most classical MAPKs, is a stable protein, ERK3 is highly unstable and subject to rapid proteosomal degradation. Thus, ERK3 activity may be regulated at the level of cellular abundance, and taken together these features indicate that ERK3 and ERK4 may perform specialized functions and enjoy different modes of regulation when compared with classical MAPKs (9–11).Despite the striking differences between ERK3 and ERK4 and the classical MAPKs, they do share one property with the ERK1/2, p38, and ERK5, namely the ability to interact with a group of downstream Ser/Thr protein kinases, termed MAPK-activated protein kinases (MAPKAPKs or MKs) (12, 13). In the case of ERK3 and ERK4, both proteins interact with, translocate, and activate the MK5 protein kinase. Several studies have drawn attention to the role of specific docking interactions that contribute to both substrate selectivity and regulation in MAPK pathways (14–17). These interactions involve docking domains, which specifically recognize small peptide docking motifs (D motifs) located on functional MAPK partner proteins including downstream substrates, scaffold proteins, as well as positive and negative regulators. The docking domains, although located within the kinase domains, are distinct from the active site. Similarly the D motifs, which these docking domains recognize, are also distinct from the phosphoacceptor sites within protein substrates (18). There are several classes of D motifs. The motifs found in MAPKAP kinases including MK5 have the consensus sequence LX1–2(K/R)2–5 where X is any amino acid (12). The corresponding docking domains within the MAPKs have also been characterized (16, 19, 20). The common docking (CD) domain is a cluster of negatively charged amino acids located in the L16 extension directly C-terminal to the kinase domain in the MAPK primary structure. A second domain termed ED (Glu-Asp) also contributes to binding specificity. This latter site is located near the CD domain in the MAPK tertiary structure. Whereas the CD domain is considered commonly important for all docking interactions, the ED site is thought to be important for the determination of specificity (16). Other residues and regions distinct from the ED and CD domains have also been shown to be important for docking.(21–25).This work has so far been largely confined to analysis of the classical MAPKs, and much less is known about the nature of substrate or regulatory docking interactions for the atypical MAPKs. We and others (9, 11, 26) have recently reported that the region encompassing residues 326–340 within both ERK3 and ERK4 is required for their ability to interact with and activate MK5. Furthermore, a truncated mutant of MK5, which lacks the 50 C-terminal residues (MK5 1–423), was unable to bind to ERK4 despite the fact that it retains its D domain. Finally, in contrast to conventional MAPKs, the interaction between ERK3 and ERK4 and MK5 requires activation loop phosphorylation of ERK3 and ERK4 (27, 28). Taken together these observations suggest that the mechanism by which the atypical MAPKs recognize and bind to at least one important class of effector kinases may be distinct to that found in the classical MAPKs such as ERK1/2 and p38.Here we demonstrate that two separate C-terminal regions, encompassing residues 383–393 and 460–465, respectively, are necessary for MK5 to interact with both ERK3 and ERK4. These regions are distinct from the D motif previously identified within MK5, suggesting that binding to ERK3 and ERK4 may be mediated by a different mechanism to that seen in the classical MAPKs. In support of this, the conserved CD domains within ERK3 and ERK4 are shown to be completely dispensable for MK5 interaction. Using peptide overlay assays, we have defined a minimal MK5 interaction motif FRIEDE in ERK4. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a single point mutation (ERK3 I334K or ERK4 I330K) within this FRIEDE motif is sufficient to disrupt the binding of both ERK3 and ERK4 to MK5 and consequently their ability to both translocate and activate MK5. The FRIEDE motif is located within the L16 extension C-terminal to the CD domain in both ERK3 and ERK4. Interestingly, molecular modeling of the corresponding region in ERK2 suggests that it undergoes a significant conformational change as a result of activation loop phosphorylation, making this part of the L16 extension more accessible (29). We propose that the FRIEDE motif represents a novel MAPK interaction motif, the function of which is linked to activation loop phosphorylation and MAPK activation. 相似文献

Approximately 60% of human cancers exhibit enhanced activity of ERK1 and ERK2, reflecting their multiple roles in tumor initiation and progression. Acquired drug resistance, especially mechanisms associated with the reactivation of the MAPK (RAF/MEK/ERK) pathway represent a major challenge to current treatments of melanoma and several other cancers. Recently, targeting ERK has evolved as a potentially attractive strategy to overcome this resistance. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of novel series of fused naphthofuro[3,2-c]quinoline-6,7,12-triones 3a-f and pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-6,7,8,13-tetraones 5a,b and 6, as potential ERK inhibitors. New inhibitors were synthesized and identified by different spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. They were evaluated for their ability to inhibit ERK1/2 in an in vitro radioactive kinase assay. 3b and 6 inhibited ERK1 with IC50s of 0.5 and 0.19 µM, and inhibited ERK2 with IC50s of 0.6 and 0.16 µM respectively. Kinetic mechanism studies revealed that the inhibitors are ATP-competitive inhibitors where 6 inhibited ERK2 with a Ki of 0.09 µM. Six of the new inhibitors were tested for their in vitro anticancer activity against the NCI-60 panel of tumor cell lines. Compound 3b and 6 were the most potent against most of the human tumor cell lines tested. Moreover, 3b and 6 inhibited the proliferation of the BRAF mutant A375 melanoma cells with IC50s of 3.7 and 0.13 µM, respectively. In addition, they suppressed anchorage-dependent colony formation. Treatment of the A375 cell line with 3b and 6 inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK substrates p-90RSK and ELK-1 and induced apoptosis in a dose dependent manner. Finally, a molecular docking study showed the potential binding mode of 3b and 6 within the ATP catalytic binding site of ERK2. 相似文献

Janus kinases (JAKs) regulate various inflammatory and immune responses and are targets for the treatment of inflammatory and immune diseases. Here we report the discovery and optimization of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amino as covalent JAK3 inhibitors that exploit a unique cysteine (Cys909) residue in JAK3. Our optimization study gave compound 12a, which exhibited potent JAK3 inhibitory activity (IC50 of 6.2?nM) as well as excellent JAK kinase selectivity (>60-fold). In cellular assay, 12a exhibited potent immunomodulating effect on IL-2-stimulated T cell proliferation (IC50 of 9.4?μM). Further, compound 12a showed efficacy in delayed hypersensitivity assay. The data supports the further investigation of these compounds as novel JAKs inhibitors. 相似文献

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways play pivotal roles in cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, gene regulation, differentiation, and cell motility. The typical mammalian MAPK pathways ERK1/2, JNK, p38MAPK, and ERK5 operate through a concatenation of three successive phosphorylation events mediated by a MAPK kinase kinase, a MAPK kinase, and a MAPK. MAPKs phosphorylate substrates with distinct functions, including other protein kinases referred to as MAPK-activated protein kinases. One family of related MAPK-activated protein kinases includes MK2, MK3, and MK5. While it is generally accepted that MK2 and MK3 are bona fide substrates for p38MAPK, the genuineness of MK5 as a p38MAPK substrate is disputed. This review summarizes the findings pro and contra an authentic p38MAPK-MK5 relationship, discusses possible explanations for these discrepancies, and proposes experiments that may help to unequivocally clarify whether MK5 is indeed a substrate for p38MAPK. 相似文献

MAPK-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5) was recently identified as a physiological substrate of the atypical MAPK ERK3. Complex formation between ERK3 and MK5 results in phosphorylation and activation of MK5, concomitant stabilization of ERK3, and the nuclear exclusion of both proteins. However, ablation of ERK3 in HeLa cells using small interfering RNA or in fibroblasts derived from ERK3 null mice reduces the activity of endogenous MK5 by only 50%, suggesting additional mechanisms of MK5 regulation. Here we identify the ERK3-related kinase ERK4 as a bona fide interaction partner of MK5. Binding of ERK4 to MK5 is accompanied by phosphorylation and activation of MK5. Furthermore, complex formation also results in the relocalization of MK5 from nucleus to cytoplasm. However unlike ERK3, ERK4 is a stable protein, and its half-life is not modified by the presence or absence of MK5. Finally, although knock-down of ERK4 protein in HeLa cells reduces endogenous MK5 activity by approximately 50%, a combination of small interfering RNAs targeting both ERK4 and ERK3 causes a further reduction in the MK5 activity by more than 80%. We conclude that MK5 activation is dependent on both ERK3 and ERK4 in these cells and that these atypical MAPKs are both physiological regulators of MK5 activity. 相似文献

The extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) 4 (MAPK4) and ERK3 (MAPK6) are structurally related atypical MAPKs displaying major differences only in the C-terminal extension. ERK3 is known as an unstable mostly cytoplasmic protein that binds, translocates, and activates the MAPK-activated protein kinase (MK) 5. Here we have investigated the stability and expression of ERK4 and have analyzed its ability to bind, translocate, and activate MK5. We show that, in contrast to ERK3, ERK4 is a stable protein that binds to endogenous MK5. Interaction of ERK4 with MK5 leads to translocation of MK5 to the cytoplasm and to its activation by phosphorylation. In transfected HEK293 cells, where overexpressed catalytically dead ERK3 is able to activate MK5, catalytic activity of ERK4 is necessary for activation of MK5, indicating that ERK4 directly phosphorylates MK5. Interestingly, ERK4 dimerizes and/or oligomerizes with ERK3, suggesting that overexpressed inactive ERK3 recruits active endogenous ERK4 to MK5 for its activation. Hence, ERK3 and ERK4 cooperate in activation of MK5. 相似文献

Janus kinases (JAKs) regulate various cancers and immune responses and are targets for the treatment of cancers and immune diseases. A new series of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amino derivatives were synthesized and optimized by introducing a functional 3,5-disubstituted-1H-pyrazole moiety into the C-3 moiety of pyrazole template, and then were biologically evaluated as potent Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitors. Among these molecules, inhibitors 11f, 11g, 11h and 11k displayed strong activity and selectivity against the JAK2 kinase, with IC50 values of 7.2?nM, 6.5?nM, 8.0?nM and 9.7?nM, respectively. In particular, the cellular inhibitory assay and western blot analysis further support the JAK2 selectivity of compound 11g also in cells. Furthermore, compound 11g also exhibited potent inhibitory activity in lymphocytes proliferation assay and delayed hypersensitivity assay. Taken together, the novel JAK2 selective inhibitors discovered in this study may be potential lead compounds for new drug discovery via further development of more potent and selective JAK2 inhibitors. 相似文献

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are lipid kinases that regulate the cellular signal transduction pathways involved in cell growth, proliferation, survival, apoptosis, and adhesion. Deregulation of these pathways are common in oncogenesis, and they are known to be altered in other metabolic disorders as well. Despite its huge potential as an attractive target in these diseases, there is an unmet need for the development of a successful inhibitor. Unlike protein kinase inhibitors, screening for lipid kinase inhibitors has been challenging. Here we report, for the first time, the development of a radioactive lipid kinase screening platform using a phosphocellulose plate that involves transfer of radiolabeled [γ-32P]ATP to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-phosphate forming phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-phosphate, captured on the phosphocellulose plate. Enzyme kinetics and inhibitory properties were established in the plate format using standard inhibitors, such as LY294002, TGX-221, and wortmannin, having different potencies toward PI3K isoforms. ATP and lipid apparent Km for both were determined and IC50 values generated that matched the historical data. Here we report the use of a phosphocellulose plate for a lipid kinase assay (PI3Kβ as the target) as an excellent platform for the identification of novel chemical entities in PI3K drug discovery. 相似文献

We have identified a novel 7-azaindole series of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors. Compounds 7b, 7m and 7n demonstrate excellent potencies in biochemical and cellular assays. X-ray crystal structure of one of the compounds (7k) revealed a unique binding mode with the benzyl group occupying the back pocket, explaining its potency towards ALK and selectivity over tested kinases particularly Aurora-A. This binding mode is in contrast to that of known ALK inhibitors such as Crizotinib and NVP-TAE684 which occupy the ribose binding pocket, close to DFG motif. 相似文献

Compound 5 (SCH772984) was identified as a potent inhibitor of ERK1/2 with excellent selectivity against a panel of kinases (0/231 kinases tested @ 100?nM) and good cell proliferation activity, but suffered from poor PK (rat AUC PK @10?mpk?=?0?μM?h; F%?=?0) which precluded further development. In an effort to identify novel ERK inhibitors with improved PK properties with respect to 5, a systematic exploration of sterics and composition at the 3-position of the pyrrolidine led to the discovery of a novel 3(S)-thiomethyl pyrrolidine analog 28 with vastly improved PK (rat AUC PK @10?mpk?=?26?μM?h; F%?=?70). 相似文献
