Discovery of novel 2,3-diarylfuro[2,3-b]pyridin-4-amines as potent and selective inhibitors of Lck: synthesis, SAR, and pharmacokinetic properties

Abstract

2,3-Diarylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine-4-amines are a novel class of potent and selective inhibitors of Lck. The discovery, synthesis, and structure activity relationships of this series of inhibitors are reported. The most promising compounds were also profiled to deduce their pharmacokinetic properties.
