Novel and selective spiroindoline-based inhibitors of sky kinase

We report the discovery of a novel series of spiroindoline-based inhibitors of Sky kinase that bind in the ATP-binding site and exhibit high levels of kinome selectivity through filling the Ala571-subpocket. These inhibitors exhibit moderate oral bioavailability in the rat due to low absorption across the gut wall. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
