Ibrutinib (IBN), a first-in-class BTK-inhibitor, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Although IBN shows excellent performance as an anti-lymphoma agent, it has some undesirable side effects due to its off-target activities. Our studies yielded a novel series of 3-(6-phenoxypyridin-3-yl)-4-amine-1H-pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives capable of potent inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). Notably, compound 13e explained potent BTK inhibitory activity and could completely inhibit the phosphorylation of BTK and PLC gamma 2 in Z138 cells at low micromolar concentration. Compared with IBN, compound 13e improved anti-proliferative activities 3-40 folds in MCL cell lines with IC50 values lower than 1 mu M. Low micromolar doses of 13e could induce strong cell apoptosis in Jeko-1 and Z138 cells. In addition, compound 13e showed greater BTK selectivity and higher stability in human liver microsomes than IBN and potential safety improvement for the treatment of MCL.
