Simplified staurosporine analogs as potent JAK3 inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Jan 15;17(2):326-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.10.062. Epub 2006 Oct 26.

Abstract

Simplification of bottom ring and regioselective functionalization of the indolocarbazole unit of staurosporine (2) are described. The modification led to a new series of simplified staurosporine analogs, which exhibited significant inhibitory activity against Janus kinase 3 (JAK3). The structure-activity relationships (SAR) are discussed and a proposed binding model is also highlighted.
