TL;DR
Compound 43 exhibited potent molecular and cellular IRAK4 inhibitory activities as well as in vivo anti-inflammatory activities in both LPS-induced acute inflammation and collagen-induced arthritis models alongside favorable pharmacokinetic properties, indicating that compound 43 is a valuable lead compound for further structural optimization and the development of novel IRAK4-targeted anti-inflammatory therapies.
Abstract
Pathological inflammation in multiple diseases arises from dysregulated innate immune signaling, wherein the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) acts as a critical node that mediates pro-inflammatory cascades and cytokine release downstream of toll-like and interleukin-1 receptors (TLR/IL-1R). Consequently, the therapeutic inhibition of IRAK4 using small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for these conditions, particularly, rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we identified a series of novel IRAK4 inhibitors featuring an indazole/indolinone-based biaryl scaffold, and forty-seven novel compounds were designed and synthesized using structure-based rational drug design strategies. Notably, compound 43 exhibited potent molecular and cellular IRAK4 inhibitory activities as well as in vivo anti-inflammatory activities in both LPS-induced acute inflammation and collagen-induced arthritis models alongside favorable pharmacokinetic properties. These findings indicated that compound 43 is a valuable lead compound for further structural optimization and the development of novel IRAK4-targeted anti-inflammatory therapies.
Treatment with compound B19 significantly alleviated pulmonary inflammation and edema, attenuated inflammatory cell infiltration, and markedly decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and provides a solid foundation for the further development of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based anti-inf...

Inflammation is a biological process implicated in numerous chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Dysregulated inflammatory signaling is primarily mediated by Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), which is identified as a major contributor to the progression of these...

Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) is a key target for regulating macrophage function and mediating the inflammatory response. Blocking CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling pathway and its downstream AKT cascade can effectively inhibit the release of downstream proinflammatory cytokines, which provides a promising therape...
As a key regulator of cellular programmed necrosis and inflammatory signaling pathways, receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is closely linked to the pathogenesis and progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this study, building on hits identified from docking simulations, a series of qu...
