Abstract

Previously, we reported the discovery of 3,6-disubstituted isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridines as potent and selective cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK) inhibitors with promising antiviral activity. In this manuscript, the structure-activity relationship study was expanded to synthesis of isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridines with modifications of the pyridine moiety. This effort led to the discovery of an isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivative with a 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl residue at position 5 that displayed low nanomolar GAK binding affinity and antiviral activity against dengue virus.
