Discovery and SAR of novel Naphthyridines as potent inhibitors of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Apr 17;13(8):1415-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00163-x.

Abstract

The discovery of novel 5,7-disubstituted[1,6]naphthyridines as potent inhibitors of Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (SYK) is discussed. The SAR reveals the necessity for a 7-aryl group with preference towards para substitution and that this in combination with 5-aminoalkylamino substituents further improved the potency of the compounds. The initial SAR as well as a survey of the other positions is discussed in detail.
