B-lymphoid tyrosine kinase (BLK), a member of the SRC family nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, is involved in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and B cell development and function. Dysregulation of BLK is associated with autoimmune diseases and cancer. However, there is an absence of good tool compounds for BLK, and the molecular mechanisms by which BLK mediates physiological and pathological processes are poorly understood. Herein, we present the discovery of a novel series of selective and irreversible inhibitors of BLK with nanomolar potency against BLK in biochemical and cellular assays. Compound 25 demonstrated potent antiproliferative activities against several B cell lymphoma cell lines. These compounds constitute the first series of selective inhibitors developed for BLK and could help expedite the exploration of BLK functions.
