Article Synopsis
  • - A new treatment approach for inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis focuses on specifically targeting the JAK1 pathway, which could lead to better outcomes.
  • - Researchers identified a new binding structure while studying existing pan-JAK inhibitors, which showed a good ability to accept various chemical modifications.
  • - The study resulted in highly effective JAK1 inhibitors with strong performance in cell tests and selective action over JAK2, supported by X-ray crystallography to optimize their design.

A series of oxindoles demonstrating inhibition of the phosphorylation of biotinylated substrates of Syk and IgE/Fc epsilon RI triggered basophil cell degranulation has been identified. A study of the SAR around sulfonamide 31 (IC(50)=5 nM, EC(50)=1400 nM) is discussed. The modest cellular activity representative of the sulfonamide series was overcome when the Polar Surface Area was lowered to <110 A(2), leading to the identification of amide 32 (IC(50)=145 nM, EC(50)=100 nM).
