Abstract: We hereby disclose the discovery of inhibitors of CaMKII (7h and 7i) that are highly potent in rat ventricular myocytes, selective against hERG and other off-target kinases, while possessing good CaMKII tissue isoform selectivity (cardiac γ/δ vs. neuronal α/β). In vitro and in vivo ADME/PK studies demonstrated the suitability of these CaMKII inhibitors for PO (7h rat F = 73%) and IV pharmacological studies.
