Imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivatives from high-throughput screening were developed as IKKbeta inhibitors. By the optimization of the 3- and 6-position of imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine scaffold, cell-free IKKbeta inhibitory activity and TNFalpha inhibitory activity in THP-1 cell increased. Also, these compounds showed high kinase selectivity. The structure-activity relationship was revealed and the interaction model of imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine compounds with IKKbeta was constructed.
