The discovery of a novel series of pyrrolopyrazines as JAK inhibitors with comparable enzyme and cellular activity to tofacitinib is described. The series was identified using a scaffold hopping approach aided by structure based drug design using principles of intramolecular hydrogen bonding for conformational restriction and targeting specific pockets for modulating kinase activity ...
