Design of a Janus Kinase 3 (JAK3) Specific Inhibitor 1-((2 S,5 R)-5-((7 H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-2-methylpiperidin-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (PF-06651600) Allowing for the Interrogation of JAK3 Signaling in Humans
Abstract
Significant work has been dedicated to the discovery of JAK kinase inhibitors resulting in several compounds entering clinical development and two FDA approved NMEs. However, despite significant effort during the past 2 decades, identification of highly selective JAK3 inhibitors has eluded the scientific community. A significant effort within our research organization has resulted in the identification of the first orally active JAK3 specific inhibitor, which achieves JAK isoform specificity through covalent interaction with a unique JAK3 residue Cys-909. The relatively rapid resynthesis rate of the JAK3 enzyme presented a unique challenge in the design of covalent inhibitors with appropriate pharmacodynamics properties coupled with limited unwanted off-target reactivity. This effort resulted in the identification of 11 (PF-06651600), a potent and low clearance compound with demonstrated in vivo efficacy. The favorable efficacy and safety profile of this JAK3-specific inhibitor 11 led to its evaluation in several human clinical studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
