Abstract

IRAK4 is an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Structure guided optimization of a nicotinamide series of inhibitors has been expanded to explore the IRAK4 front pocket. This has resulted in the identification of compounds such as 12 with improved potency and selectivity. Additionally 12 demonstrated activity in a pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model. Further optimization efforts led to the identification of the highly kinome selective 21 , which demonstrated a robust PD effect and efficacy in a TLR7 driven model of murine psoriasis.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society.)
