TASP0415914

Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), particularly PI3Kγ, have become attractive drug targets for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. Herein, we describe the synthesis and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a series of 2-amino-5-oxadiazolyl thiazoles, culminating in the identification of 8j (TASP0415914), an orally potent inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ). TASP0415914 demonstrated good potency in a cell-based assay and, furthermore, exhibited in vivo efficacy in a collagen induced arthritis (CIA) model in mice after oral administration.
