RESUMO
NLRP3 inflammasome mediated release of interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) has been implicated in various diseases. In this study, rationally designed mimics of sulfonylurea moiety were investigated as NLRP3 inhibitors. Our results culminated into discovery of series of unprecedented N-cyano sulfoximineurea derivatives as potent NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors. Compound 15 (IC50 = 7 nM) and analogues were found to be highly potent and selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with good pharmacokinetic profile. These effects translate in vivo, as 15, 29, and 34 significantly inhibit NLRP3 dependent IL-1ß secretion in mice.
RESUMO
Selective inhibition of janus kinase (JAK) has been identified as an important strategy for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Optimization at the C2 and C4-positions of pyrimidine ring of Cerdulatinib led to the discovery of a potent and orally bioavailable 2,4-diaminopyrimidine-5-carboxamide based JAK3 selective inhibitor (11i). A cellular selectivity study further confirmed that 11i preferentially inhibits JAK3 over JAK1, in JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Compound 11i showed good anti-arthritic activity, which could be correlated with its improved oral bioavailability. In the repeat dose acute toxicity study, 11i showed no adverse changes related to gross pathology and clinical signs, indicating that the new class JAK3 selective inhibitor could be viable therapeutic option for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

PI3Kδ is implicated in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. For the effective treatment of chronic immunological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, it is essential to develop isoform selective PI3Kδ inhibitors. Structure guided optimization of an imidazo-quinolinones based pan-PI3K/m-TOR inhibitor (Dactolisib) led to the discovery of a potent and orally bioavailable PI3Kδ isoform selective inhibitor (10h), with an improved efficacy in the animal models.
