Abstract
A new class of lymphocyte specific tyrosine kinase (lck) inhibitors based on an N-4,6-pyrimidine-N-alkyl-N′-phenyl urea scaffold is described. Many of these compounds showed low-nanomolar inhibition of lck kinase activity as well as IL-2 synthesis from Jurkat cells. One of these analogs, 7i, was shown to be orally efficacious by in vivo testing in a rat adjuvant-induced arthritis study.
