2-Aminobenzimidazoles as potent ITK antagonists: trans-stilbene-like moieties targeting the kinase specificity pocket.
2008
Based on the information from molecular modeling and X-ray crystal structures, the kinase specificity pocket of ITK could be occupied upon extension of the right-hand-side of the 2-benzimidazole core of the inhibitors. 2-Aminobenzimidazoles with a trans-stilbene-like extension were designed and synthesized as novel ITK antagonists. Significant improvement on binding affinity and cellular activity were obtained through the trans-stilbene-like antagonists. Several compounds showed inhibitory activity in an IL-2 functional assay.
