Abstract

We synthesized and evaluated a series of C-5 substituted imidazo [1, 5-a] pyrazine derivatives to identify potent c-Src inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents for acute ischemic stroke. Among these compounds, compound 14c· HCl demonstrated remarkable central nervous system (CNS) penetration and significant neuroprotective efficacy in vivo in rat models.
