GtoPdb Ligand ID: 10076

Synonyms: example 90 [US20160264548]
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: This compound is reported as an irreversible, covalent inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) [2]. It is compound 23 (example 90) as claimed in Merck's patent US20160264548A1 [1].
Because of its expression pattern on B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes (NOT T cells) and its essential role in B lymphocyte development and function, BTK continues to be investigated as a valid therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases that involve B-cell and/or macrophage activation (e.g. B-cell malignancies, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis). Ibrutinib was the first-in-class small molecule BTK inhibitor to reach the clinic. Unfortunately, ibrutinib causes severe adverse effects that are in the main, attributed to its off-target profile. As a result, second-generation BTK inhibitors with optimised structures and improved selectivity are being developed. Inhibitor 16 described here, exhibits comparable cellular potency to ibrutinib but has a higher kinome selectivity against undesirable off-targets.

Bioactivity Comments
In freshly isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells inhibitor 16 reduced a BTK-mediated B cell receptor downstream signalling event (anti-IgM-induced expression of CD69) with an IC50 of 9.7 nM [2]. In a kinase selectivity screen inhibitor 16 inhibited 4 of 270 kinases tested by >50% at 1 μM (BTK (98%), Blk (96%), BMX (95%), Txk (54%)). In comparison, ibrutinib inhibited 35 of the 270 kinases by >50% at the same concentration. Inhibitor 16 inhibits the hERG channel with a Ki of 2.2 μM. It is an unfavouably potent inhibitor of CYP450 2C8.
