Abstract: Mutant activin receptor-like kinase-2 (ALK2) is associated with the pathogenesis of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. We synthesized a new series of bicyclic pyrazoles and evaluated their mutant ALK2 enzyme inhibitory activities, leading to the identification of 8 as the most potent inhibitor. This compound showed moderate microsomal metabolic stability and human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) safety. In C2C12 cells carrying mutant ALK2 (R206H), 8 efficiently inhibited the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-induced alkaline phosphatase activity.
