In cancer cells, kinases of the Clk family control the supply of full-length, functional mRNAs coding for a variety of proteins essential to cell growth and survival. Thus, inhibition of Clks might become a novel anticancer strategy, leading to a selective depletion of cancer-relevant proteins after turnover. On the basis of a Weinreb amide hit compound, we designed and synthesized a diverse set of methoxybenzothiophene-2-carboxamides, of which the N-benzylated derivative showed enhanced Clk1 inhibitory activity. Introduction of a m-fluorine in the benzyl moiety eventually led to the discovery of compound 21b, a potent inhibitor of Clk1 and -4 (IC50 = 7 and 2.3 nM, respectively), exhibiting an unprecedented selectivity over Dyrk1A. 21b triggered the depletion of EGFR, HDAC1, and p70S6 kinase from the cancer cells, with potencies in line with the measured GI50 values. In contrast, the cellular effects of congener 21a, which inhibited Clk1 only weakly, were substantially lower.

Members of a series of benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide derivatives, possessing an N-(1-(3-bromo-4-(piperidin-4-yloxy)benzyl)piperidin-4-yl) group, were synthesized and evaluated as urotensin-II receptor antagonists. The results show that these substances have potent UT binding affinities. Observations made in a systematic SAR investigation of the effects of a variety of substituents (R1and R2) at the 5- and 6-positions in the benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide moiety on UT binding affinities led to identification of the 5-cyano analog 7f as a highly potent UT antagonist with an IC50value of 25?nM. Despite having a good metabolic stability, 7f is a potent inhibitor of CYP isozyme and displays an unsuitable PK profile.
Hydroxybenzothiophene ketones are efficient pre-mRNA splicing modulators due to dual inhibition of Dyrk1A and Clk1/4

Dysregulated usage of pre-mRNA splicing sites contributes to the progression of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. Serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins play major roles in the splice site recognition and are largely regulated by phosp
