Abstract
A novel series of biaryl amides was identified as RORγt inhibitors through core replacement of a starting hit 1. Structure-activity relationship exploration on the biaryl moiety led to discovery of potent RORγt inhibitors with good oral bioavailability and CNS penetration. Compounds 9a and 9g demonstrated excellent in vivo efficacy in EAE mice dose dependently with once daily oral administration.Entities:
