Structure-activity relationship studies of 5-benzylaminoimidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine-8-carboxamide derivatives as potent, highly selective ZAP-70 kinase inhibitors
Zeta-associated protein, 70 kDa (ZAP-70), a spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) family kinase, is normally expressed on T cells and natural killer cells and plays a crucial role in activation of the T cell immunoresponse. Thus, selective ZAP-70 inhibitors might
