摘要:
A series of 4-indolylamino-5-phenyl-3-pyridinecarbonitrile inhibitors of PKC theta were synthesized as potential anti-inflammatory agents. The effects of specific substitution on the 5-phenyl moiety and variations of the positional isomers of the 4-indolylamino substituent were explored. This study led to the discovery of compound 12d, which had an IC50 value of 18 nM for the inhibition of PKC theta. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
