Abstract : Aberrant signaling of phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ (PI3Kδ) has been implicated in numerous pathologies including hematological malignancies and rheumatoid arthritis. Described in this manuscript are the discovery, optimization, and in vivo evaluation of a novel series of pyridine-containing PI3Kδ inhibitors. This work led to the discovery of 35, a highly selective inhibitor of PI3Kδ which displays an excellent pharmacokinetic profile and is efficacious in a rodent model of rheumatoid arthritis.
