JAK1 kinase (JH1 domain) in complex with the inhibitor (TRANS-4-{2-[(1R)-1-HYDROXYETHYL]IMIDAZO[4,5-D]PYRROLO[2,3-B]PYRIDIN-1(6H)-YL}CYCLOHEXYL)ACETONITRILE
Structural highlights
FunctionJAK1_HUMAN Tyrosine kinase of the non-receptor type, involved in the IFN-alpha/beta/gamma signal pathway. Kinase partner for the interleukin (IL)-2 receptor. Publication Abstract from PubMedHerein we report on the structure-based discovery of a C-2 hydroxyethyl moiety which provided consistently high levels of selectivity for JAK1 over JAK2 to the imidazopyrrolopyridine series of JAK1 inhibitors. X-ray structures of a C-2 hydroxyethyl analogue in complex with both JAK1 and JAK2 revealed differential ligand/protein interactions between the two isoforms and offered an explanation for the observed selectivity. Analysis of historical data from related molecules was used to develop a set of physicochemical compound design parameters to impart desirable properties such as acceptable membrane permeability, potent whole blood activity, and a high degree of metabolic stability. This work culminated in the identification of a highly JAK1 selective compound (31) exhibiting favorable oral bioavailability across a range of preclinical species and robust efficacy in a rat CIA model.
