Description | Reported is the identification of the furo[3,2-b]pyridine core as a novel scaffold for potent and highly selective inhibitors of cdc-like kinases (CLKs) and efficient modulators of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Initially, a diverse target compound set was prepared by synthetic sequences based on chemoselective metal-mediated couplings, including assembly of the furo[3,2-b]pyridine scaffold by copper-mediated oxidative cyclization. Optimization of the subseries containing 3,5-disubstituted furo[3,2-b]pyridines afforded potent, cell-active, and highly selective inhibitors of CLKs. Profiling of the kinase-inactive subset of 3,5,7-trisubstituted furo[3,2-b]pyridines revealed sub-micromolar modulators of the Hedgehog pathway. |
