Abstract

A library of new 2-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivatives were rapidly assembled and identified as PARP inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship for this class of inhibitor resulted in the discovery of most potent compounds 15a and 15b that exhibited about 29- and 5- fold selective activity against PARP-1 over PARP-2 respectively. The antiproliferative activity of the as-prepared compounds were demonstrated by further celluar assay in BRCA2-deficient V-C8 and BRCA1-deficient MDA-MB-436 cell lines, displaying that compound 15b could robustly reduce the corresponding cell proliferation and growth with CC50s of 340 and 106 nM respectively. The PK property of 15b was also investigated here.
