Abstract:
Novel conformationally constrained BET bromodomain inhibitors have been developed. These inhibitors were optimized in two similar, yet distinct chemical series, the 6-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-7(6H)-ones (A) and the 1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-7(6H)-ones (B). Each series demonstrated excellent activity in binding and cellular assays, and lead compounds from each series demonstrated significant efficacy in in vivo tumor xenograft models.
