Raf kinases play central role in cell growth and survival and are components <strong>of</strong> Raf-MEK-ERK<br />

signaling pathway. Of the three Raf is<strong>of</strong>orms, activating B-Raf mutations have been found in<br />

66% <strong>of</strong> malignant melanomas and in a smaller fraction <strong>of</strong> other cancers including those <strong>of</strong> the<br />

colorectum. B-Raf mutations in these cancers were found in a systematic genome-wide<br />

screening effort to detect alterations in genes that control cell proliferation, differentiation, and<br />

death (Davies H, et al. 2002, Nature 417:906). Inhibitors <strong>of</strong> B-Raf could be used in the treatment<br />

<strong>of</strong> colorectal cancer, melanomas, and other Ras related human cancers. To identify B-Raf<br />

inhibitors we established an HTS assay to monitor the kinase activity <strong>of</strong> both wt and mutant<br />

(V600E) forms <strong>of</strong> this protein. From this effort pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (1) was<br />

identified as a promising B-Raf kinase inhibitor. Expansion <strong>of</strong> this scaffold class to improve the<br />

potency and gather structure activity relationship will be discussed in detail.<br />
