Abstract

The structure-based design of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives as selective DDR1 inhibitors is reported. One of the representative compounds, 6j, binds to DDR1 with a Kd value of 4.7 nM and suppresses its kinase activity with an IC50 value of 9.4 nM, but it is significantly less potent for a panel of 400 nonmutated kinases. 6j also demonstrated reasonable pharmacokinetic properties and a promising oral therapeutic effect in a bleomycin-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model.
