TYK2 mediates signaling of IL-23, IL-12, and Type I IFN-driven responses that are critical in immune-mediated diseases. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of 3-(4-(2-((1H-indol-5-yl)amino)-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propanenitrile derivatives as selective TYK2 inhibitors. Among them, compound 14l exhibited acceptable TYK2 inhibition with an IC50 value of 9 nM, showed satisfactory selectivity characteristics over the other three homologous JAK kinases, and performed good functional potency in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway on lymphocyte lines and human whole blood. In liver microsomal assay studies, the clearance rate and half-life of 14l were 11.4 mL/min/g and 121.6 min, respectively. Furthermore, in a dextran sulfate sodium colitis model, 14l reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α and improved the inflammation symptoms of mucosal infiltration, thickening, and edema. Taken together, 14l was a selective TYK2 inhibitor and could be used to treat immune diseases deserving further investigation.
