Recurrent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is defined as two episodes of IPD occurring at least 1 month apart, whether caused by the same or different serotypes or strains. Recurrent IPD occurs in at least 2% of patients in most series, making IPD the most important known risk factor for subsequent IPD. Defects in IRAK4 are the cause of IRAK4 deficiency (IRAK4D) [MIM:607676. IRAK4 deficiency causes extracellular pyogenic bacterial and fungal infections in otherwise healthy children. Function IRAK4_HUMAN Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a critical role in initiating innate immune response against foreign pathogens. Involved in Toll-like receptor (TLR) and IL-1R signaling pathways. Is rapidly recruited by MYD88 to the receptor-signaling complex upon TLR activation to form the Myddosome together with IRAK2. Phosphorylates initially IRAK1, thus stimulating the kinase activity and intensive autophosphorylation of IRAK1. Phosphorylates E3 ubiquitin ligases Pellino proteins (PELI1, PELI2 and PELI3) to promote pellino-mediated polyubiquitination of IRAK1. Then, the ubiquitin-binding domain of IKBKG/NEMO binds to polyubiquitinated IRAK1 bringing together the IRAK1-MAP3K7/TAK1-TRAF6 complex and the NEMO-IKKA-IKKB complex. In turn, MAP3K7/TAK1 activates IKKs (CHUK/IKKA and IKBKB/IKKB) leading to NF-kappa-B nuclear translocation and activation. Alternatively, phosphorylates TIRAP to promote its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Phosphorylates NCF1 and regulates NADPH oxidase activation after LPS stimulation suggesting a similar mechanism during microbial infections. Publication Abstract from PubMed IRAK4 inhibitors are of high interest as treatment for not only inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, but also in the field of oncology. Despite extensive research in the IRAK4 area and progression of several inhibitors into clinical trials, no IRAK4 inhibitor has yet reached the market. In this article, we describe the development of a highly potent and selective IRAK4 lead compound 5e, starting from Astellas AS2444697 (1a). The work includes identification of the pyrazole-pyridine substituent in compound 1g, binding towards the gatekeeper region of IRAK4, followed by a structure-guided scaffold hybridization that led to 5a. Subsequent optimization of substituents of the indazole scaffold yielded 5e, which exhibits a 10-fold improvement in IRAK4 cell potency and higher off-target selectivity compared to AS244697 (1a).
