Herein, we describe the discovery of compound Ⅲ-4, a novel H1 receptor antagonist with significant H1 receptor antagonistic activity (IC = 24.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronically systemic autoimmune disorder, which is related with various cellular signal pathways. Both BTK (Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase) and JAK3 (Janus Kinase 3) play important roles in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Herein, we reported the discovery of dual BTK/JAK3 inhibitors through bioisosterism and computer-aided drug design based on the structure of BTK inhibitor ibrutinib.
