Abstact

Dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) and leucine zipper-bearing kinase (LZK) are regulators of neuronal degeneration and axon growth. Therefore, there is a considerable interest in developing DLK/LZK inhibitors for neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we use ligand- and structure-based drug design approaches for identifying novel amino-pyrazine inhibitors of DLK/LZK. DN-1289 (14), a potent and selective dual DLK/LZK inhibitor, demonstrated excellent in vivo plasma half-life across species and is anticipated to freely penetrate the central nervous system with no brain impairment based on in vivo rodent pharmacokinetic studies and human in vitro transporter data. Proximal target engagement and disease relevant pathway biomarkers were also favorably regulated in an in vivo model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
