I kappa B kinase beta (IKK beta or IKK2) is a key regulator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) and has received attention as a therapeutic target. Herein we report on the optimization of a series of 3,5-disubstituted-indole-7-carboxamides for oral activity. In doing so, we focused attention on potency, ligand efficiency (LE), and physicochemical properties and have identified compounds 24 and (R)-28 as having robust in vivo activity.
