Lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) plays a critical role in T cell activation. In the present study, the effect of a newly synthesized small molecule compound, 7-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H- pyrazolo[5,1-b] [1,3]benzodiazepine-3-carboxamide (TKM0150) on Lck activity was investigated. TKM0150 inhibited Lck with an 1C50 value of 0.

We have described the synthesis, enzyme inhibitory activity, structure-activity relationships, and proposed binding mode of a novel series of pyrrole derivatives as lymphocyte-specific kinase (Lck) inhibitors. The most potent analogs exhibited good enzyme inhibitory activity (IC(50)s <10nM) for Lck kinase inhibition.

We have identified a novel series of ring-fused pyrazole derivatives as lymphocyte-specific kinase (Lck) inhibitors. The most potent analogs exhibited good enzyme inhibitory activity (IC(50)s <1nM) as well as excellent cellular activity against mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) (IC(50)s <1nM).

In a previous paper, we reported that an imidazole derivative 1 exhibited a potent inhibitory activity of 20-HETE synthase (1; IC(50) value of 5.7 nM), but this compound also exhibited little selectivity for cytochrome P450s (CYPs). We examined some derivatives of imidazole 1 which had an amino group on the side chain, and found that a dimethylaminohexyloxy derivative (3g; IC(50) value of 8.
