Selective inhibitors targeting the first bromodomain (BD1) or the second bromodomain (BD2) of the bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) proteins have triggered extensive research to produce more specific agents. Herein, we described our efforts to design and synthesize a series of selective BET BD2 inhibitors with novel structures. Among them, compound 45 showed single-digit nanomolar potency against BRD4 BD2 (IC50: 1.6 nM) and a 328-fold selectivity for BRD4 BD2 over BRD4 BD1 (IC50: 524 nM). Besides, 45 possessed potent effects on regulating the differentiation of Th17 cells and reducing the levels of Th17-related cytokines by affecting the activation of STAT3 and NF-κB. Further studies demonstrated that 45 had significant therapeutic efficacy in mouse models of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This work provides a strong foundation for the development of selective BET BD2 inhibitors and the therapeutic strategy for psoriasis and IBD.
