Development of potent B-RafV600E inhibitors containing an arylsulfonamide headgroup

A potent series of inhibitors against the B-RafV600E kinase have been developed that show excellent activity in cellular assays and good oral bioavailability in rats. The key structural features of the series are an arylsulfonamide headgroup, a thiazole core, and a fluorine ortho to the sulfonamide nitrogen.
