  • Patent number: 11725011
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), (II), and (III). The provided compounds are able to bind protein kinases (e.g., SIK) and may be useful in modulating (e.g., inhibiting) the activity of a protein kinase (e.g., SIK, (e.g., SIK1, SIK2, or SIK3)) in a subject or cell. The provided compounds may be useful in treating or preventing a disease (e.g., proliferative disease, musculoskeletal disease, genetic disease, hematological disease, neurological disease, painful condition, psychiatric disorder, or metabolic disorder) in a subject in need thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230242534
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), (II-1), (II-2), (II-3), or (II-4). The compounds of the present disclosure may be inhibitors of kinases (e.g., a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) (e.g., CDK7)). In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein are selective for inhibiting the activity of a kinase (e.g., CDK7) over certain other kinases (e.g., CDK2, CDK9, CDK12). In certain embodiments, the compounds do not bind or inhibit a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods of use, and uses that involve the compounds disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the compounds are useful in inhibiting the activity of a kinase, inhibiting the growth of a cell, inducing apoptosis of a cell, treating a disease, and/or preventing a disease (e.g., proliferative disease, cystic fibrosis).
