Abstrakt: Abelson kinase (c-Abl) is a ubiquitously expressed, nonreceptor tyrosine kinase which plays a key role in cell differentiation and survival. It was hypothesized that transient activation of c-Abl kinase via displacement of the N-terminal autoinhibitory "myristoyl latch", may lead to an increased hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. This would increase the numbers of circulating neutrophils and so be an effective treatment for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. This paper describes the discovery and optimization of a thiazole series of novel small molecule c-Abl activators, initially identified by a high throughput screening. Subsequently, a scaffold-hop, which exploited the improved physicochemical properties of a dihydropyrazole analogue, identified through fragment screening, delivered potent, soluble, cell-active c-Abl activators, which demonstrated the intracellular activation of c-Abl in vivo.
