PKCθ plays an important role in T cell biology and is a validated target for a number of disease states. A series of potent and selective PKCθ inhibitors were designed and synthesized starting from a HTS hit compound. Cell activity, while initially a challenge to achieve, was built into the series by transforming the nitrile unit of the scaffold into a primary amine, the latter predicted to form a new hydrogen bond to Asp508 near the entrance of the ATP binding site of PKCθ. Significant improvements in physiochemical parameters were observed on introduction of an oxetane group proximal to a primary amine leading to compound 22, which demonstrated a reduction of symptoms in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.
