A series of 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridines are described as inhibitors of ALK5 (TGF beta receptor I kinase). Modeling compounds in the ALK5 kinase domain enabled some optimization of potency via substitutions on the pyrazole core. One of these compounds PF-03671148 gave a dose dependent reduction in TGF beta induced fibrotic gene expression in human fibroblasts. A similar reduction in fibrotic gene expression was observed when PF-03671148 was applied topically in a rat wound repair model. Thus these compounds have potential utility for the prevention of dermal scarring. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
