Diamino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives are selective inhibitors of TYK2 and JAK1 over JAK2 and JAK3

Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is required for signaling of interleukin-23 (IL-23), which plays a key role in rheumatoid arthritis. Presented is the design and synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles, and the evaluation of their inhibitory activity against the Janus associated kinases TYK2 and JAKs 1–3.
