C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) functions as a negative regulator of T cell activation through inhibitory phosphorylation of LCK, so inhibitors of CSK are of interest as potential immuno-oncology agents. Screening of an internal kinase inhibitor collection identified pyridazinone lead 1 , and a series of modifications led to optimized compound 13 . Compound 13 showed potent activity in biochemical and cellular assays in vitro and demonstrated the ability to increase T cell proliferation induced by T cell receptor signaling. Compound 13 gave extended exposure in mice upon oral dosing and produced a functional response (decrease in LCK phosphorylation) in mouse spleens at 6 h post dose.
