PI3Kδ is a promising target for the treatment of inflammatory disease; however, the application of PI3Kδ inhibitors in acute respiratory inflammatory diseases is rarely investigated. In this study, through scaffold hopping design, we report a new series of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine-tethered 3-methyl-1-aryl-1H-indazoles as highly selective and potent PI3Kδ inhibitors with significant anti-inflammatory activities for treatment of acute lung injury (ALI). There were 29 compounds designed, prepared, and subjected to PI3Kδ inhibitory activity evaluation and anti-inflammatory activity evaluation in macrophages. (S)-29 was identified as a candidate with high PI3Kδ inhibitory activity, isoform selectivity, and high oral bioavailability. The in vivo administration of (S)-29 at 10 mg/kg dosage could significantly ameliorate histopathological changes and attenuate lung inflammation in lung tissues of LPS-challenged mice. Molecular docking demonstrated the success of scaffold hopping design. Overall, (S)-29 is a potent PI3Kδ inhibitor which might be a promising candidate for the treatment of ALI.
