N-Benzyl-1-heteroaryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamides as inhibitors of co-activator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1)

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Feb 15;19(4):1218-23. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.12.075. Epub 2008 Dec 24.

Abstract

A series of N-benzyl-1-heteroaryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamides targeting co-activator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) have been designed and synthesized. The potency of these inhibitors was influenced by the nature of the heteroaryl fragment with the thiophene analogues being superior to thiazole, pyridine, isoindoline and benzofuran based inhibitors.
