title: Knowledge-based design of 7-azaindoles as selective B-Raf inhibitors.
abstract: The synthesis of a 7-azaindole series of novel, potent B-Raf kinase inhibitors using knowledge-based design was carried out. Compound 6h exhibits not only excellent potency in both the enzyme assay (IC(50)=2.5 nM) and the cellular assay (IC(50)=63 nM), but also has an outstanding selectivity profile against other kinases.
