Abstract: The discovery and optimization of a novel series of aminoisoquinolines as potent, selective, and efficacious inhibitors of the mutant B-Raf pathway is presented. The N-linked pyridylpyrimidine benzamide 2 was identified as a potent, modestly selective inhibitor of the B-Raf enzyme. Replacement of the benzamide with an aminoisoquinoline core significantly improved kinase selectivity and imparted favorable pharmacokinetic properties, leading to the identification of 1 as a potent antitumor agent in xenograft models.
