Abstract:
Selective inhibition of JAK1 has recently been proposed as an appropriate therapeutic rationale for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, through pairwise comparison and 3D alignment of the JAK isozyme structures bound to the same inhibitor molecule, we reasoned that an alkynol functionality would serve as an isozyme-specific probe group, which would enable the resulting inhibitor to differentiate the ATP-binding site of JAK1 from those of other isozymes. The 3-alkynolyl-5-(4'-indazolyl)indazole-7-carboxamide derivatives were thus prepared, and in vitro evaluation of their inhibitory activity against the JAK isozymes revealed that the propargyl alcohol functionality endowed the 5-(4'-indazolyl)indazole-7-carboxamide scaffold with JAK1 selectivity over other JAK isozymes, particularly JAK2.
