Abstract: Herein, we report the discovery of a first-in-class chemotype 2-(alkylsulfonamido)thiazol-4-yl)acetamides that act as pan-selective inhibitors of cytidine 5'-triphosphate synthetase (CTPS1/2), critical enzymes in the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway. Weak inhibitors identified from a high-throughput screening of 240K compounds have been optimized to a potent, orally active agent, compound 27, which has shown significant pharmacological responses at 10 mg/kg dose BID in a well-established animal model of inflammation.
