TAK1 (transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1) is an essential intracellular mediator of cytokine and growth factor signaling and a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of immune diseases and cancer. Herein we report development of a series of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine covalent TAK1 inhibitors that target Cys174, a residue immediately adjacent to the 'DFG-motif' of the kinase activation loop. Co-crystal structures of TAK1 with candidate compounds enabled iterative rounds of ...[more]
