Necroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, plays a critical role in various diseases, including inflammatory, infectious, and degenerative diseases. We previously identified N-(7-cyano-6-(4-fluoro-3-(2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamido)phenoxy)benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (TAK-632) (6) as a potent inhibitor of necroptosis by targeting both receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and 3 (RIPK3) kinases. Herein, we performed three rounds of structural optimizations of TAK-632 and elucidated structure-activity relationships to generate more potent inhibitors by targeting RIPK3. The analogues with carbamide groups exhibited great antinecroptotic activities, and compound 42 showed >60-fold selectivity for RIPK3 than RIPK1. It blocked necrosome formation by specifically inhibiting the phosphorylation of RIPK3 in necroptotic cells. In a tumor necrosis factor-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome model, it significantly protected mice from hypothermia and death at a dose of 5 mg/kg, which was much more effective than TAK-632. Moreover, it showed favorable and druglike pharmacokinetic properties in rats with an oral bioavailability of 25.2%. Thus, these RIPK3-targeting small molecules represent promising lead structures for further development.
