Abstract
Novel dihydropyrrolopyrazole-substituted benzimidazoles were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as inhibitors of transforming growth factor-β type I receptor (TGF-β RI), TGF-β RII, and mixed lineage kinase-7 (MLK-7). These compounds were found to be potent TGF-β RI inhibitors and selective versus TGF-β RII and MLK-7 kinases. Benzimidazole derivative 8b was active in an in vivo target (TGF-β RI) inhibition assay.
