Protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is an oncogenic protein that can regulate different cytokine receptor and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways. We report here the identification of a novel series of SHP2 allosteric inhibitors having an imidazopyrazine 6,5-fused heterocyclic system as the central scaffold that displays good potency in enzymatic and cellular assays. SAR studies led to the identification of compound 8 , a highly potent SHP2 allosteric inhibitor. X-ray studies showed novel stabilizing interactions with respect to known SHP2 inhibitors. Subsequent optimization allowed us to identify analogue 10 , which possesses excellent potency and a promising PK profile in rodents.
