The synthesis and structure–activity studies of a series of quinoline-3-carbonitriles as inhibitors of Tpl2 kinase are described. Potent inhibitors of Tpl2 kinase with selectivity against a panel of selected kinases in enzymatic assays and specificity in cell-based phosphorylation assays in LPS-treated human monocytes were identified. Selected inhibitors with moderate activity in human whole blood assay effectively inhibited LPS/D-Gal induced TNFα release when administered intraperitoneally in mice.
