Potent and selective pyrazole-based inhibitors of B-Raf kinase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Aug 15;18(16):4692-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.07.002. Epub 2008 Jul 5.

Abstract

Herein we describe a novel pyrazole-based class of ATP competitive B-Raf inhibitors. These inhibitors exhibit both excellent cellular potency and striking B-Raf selectivity. A subset of these inhibitors has demonstrated the ability to inhibit downstream ERK phosphorylation in LOX tumors from mouse xenograft studies.
