On February 13, 2020, Ngu, Khehyong published a patent.Reference of 5-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carbaldehyde The title of the patent was Benzimidazoles as inhibitors of PAD enzymes and their preparation. And the patent contained the following:
The invention provides compounds of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, useful as inhibitors of PAD4, compositions thereof, and methods of treating PAD4-related disorders. Compounds of formula I wherein ring A is 4- to 15-membered heterocyclyl; B is (un)substituted indolyl, (un)substituted azaindolyl, (un)substituted benzothienyl and (un)substituted phenyl; R1 is substituted C3-6 cycloalkyl, (CH2)2-4R5a, substituted (CH2)1-4-C3-6 cycloalkyl, etc.; R3 is H, F, Cl, Br, etc.; R8 is independently H, F, Cl, CN, etc.; R5a is CONH2 and derivatives, NH2 and derivatives, NHCO2H and derivatives, etc.; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are claimed. Example compound II was prepared by a multistep procedure (procedure given). The invention compounds were evaluated for their PAD4 inhibitory activity. From the assay, it was determined that compound II exhibited IC50 value of 0.014μM. The experimental process involved the reaction of 5-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carbaldehyde(cas: 16296-68-7).Reference of 5-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carbaldehyde
