Synthesis and activity of new aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted pyrazole inhibitors of the transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor kinase domain

J Med Chem. 2003 Sep 11;46(19):3953-6. doi: 10.1021/jm0205705.

Abstract

Pyrazole-based inhibitors of the transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor kinase domain (TbetaR-I) are described. Examination of the SAR in both enzyme- and cell-based in vitro assays resulted in the emergence of two subseries featuring differing selectivity versus p38 MAP kinase. A common binding mode at the active site has been established by successful cocrystallization and X-ray analysis of potent inhibitors with the TbetaR-I receptor kinase domain.
