Discovery of novel indolinone-based, potent, selective and brain penetrant inhibitors of LRRK2
Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The most frequent kinase-enhancing mutation is the G2019S residing in the kinase activation domain. This opens up a promising therapeutic avenue for drug discovery targeting the kinase ac...

Summary: | Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The most frequent kinase-enhancing mutation is the G2019S residing in the kinase activation domain. This opens up a promising therapeutic avenue for drug discovery targeting the kinase activity of LRRK2 in PD. Several LRRK2 inhibitors have been reported to date. Here, we report a selective, brain penetrant LRRK2 inhibitor and demonstrate by a competition pulldown assay in vivo target engagement in mice. |
