Abstract: Starting from a weak screening hit, potent and selective inhibitors of the MALT1 protease function were elaborated. Advanced compounds displayed high potency in biochemical and cellular assays. Compounds showed activity in a mechanistic Jurkat T cell activation assay as well as in the B-cell lymphoma line OCI-Ly3, which suggests potential use of MALT1 inhibitors in the treatment of autoimmune diseases as well as B-cell lymphomas with a dysregulated NF-κB pathway. Initially, rat pharmacokinetic properties of this compound series were dominated by very high clearance which could be linked to amide cleavage. Using a rat hepatocyte assay a good in vitro-in vivo correlation could be established which led to the identification of compounds with improved PK properties.
