Compound 19
1 min read

“Compound 19” is a JAK1/TYK2 dual kinase inhibitor from Pfizer, related to its clinical JAK1/TYK2 dual inhibitor, brepocitinib, in Ph. II for a variety of inflammatory diseases. The cyclopropyl amide group was designed to displace a high energy water molecule. It was probably fortunate for their manufacturing colleagues that brepocitinib was taken forward instead, as the [3.1.0] core of this molecule was prepared through a Ti-mediated cyclopropanation in <20% yield.
