Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2016 Apr 15;26(8):1910-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2016.03.017. Epub 2016 Mar 7.

Abstract

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a highly attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of some non-small cell lung cancer patients. This Letter describes the further SAR exploration on the novel 3-sulfonylpyrazol-4-amino pyrimidine scaffold. This work identified a compound 53 with very good in vitro/in vivo efficacies, good DMPK properties together with better hERG tolerability and it is currently being profiled for the evaluation as a potential pre-clinical candidate.

Keywords: ALK; Anti-tumor; Kinase; NSCLC; Pyrimidine.
