ChemInform Abstract: Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines Containing an Extended 5-Substituent as Potent and Selective Inhibitors of lck I.

Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines containing a 5-(4-phenoxyphenyl) substituent are potent and selective inhibitors of Ick in vitro; some compounds are selective for lck over src. Data are shown for two compounds demonstrating that they are potent and selective inhibitors of IL2 production in cells.
