Abstact

A series of potent ALK5 inhibitors were designed using a SBDD approach and subsequently optimized to improve drug likeness. Starting with a 4-substituted quinoline screening hit, SAR was conducted using a ALK5 binding model to understand the binding site and optimize activity. The resulting inhibitors displayed excellent potency but were limited by high in vitro clearance in rat and human microsomes. Using a scaffold morphing strategy, these analogs were transformed into a related pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine series with improved ADME properties.
