Pyrazolopyridine Inhibitors of B-Raf(V600E). Part 1: The Development of Selective, Orally Bioavailable, and Efficacious Inhibitors.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The V600E mutation of B-Raf kinase results in constitutive activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and is present in approximately 7% of all cancers. Using structure-based design, a novel series of pyrazolopyridine inhibitors of B-Raf(V600E) was developed. Optimization led to the identification of 3-methoxy pyrazolopyridines 17 and 19, potent, selective, and orally bioavailable agents that inhibited tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model driven by B-Raf(V600E) with no effect on body weight. On the basis of their in vivo efficacy and preliminary safety profiles, 17 and 19 were selected for further preclinical evaluation.
