Abstract
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key regulator of B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and takes effect in the regulation of B-cell activation, survival, proliferation and differentiation. It has been proved that BTK is commonly overexpressed in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), which makes it a focus of targeted therapy for MCL. Our studies yielded a novel series of pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives capable of potent inhibition of BTK. Notably, 12a showed higher selectivity against BTK and exhibited robust antiproliferative effects in both mantle cell lymphoma cell lines and primary patient tumor cells. Low micromolar doses of 12a induced strong cell apoptosis in Jeko-1 and Z138 cells.
