Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1) is a serine/threonine kinase that acts as an immune checkpoint downstream of T-cell receptor stimulation. MAP4K1 activity is enhanced by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), immune modulators commonly present in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, its pharmacological inhibition is an attractive immuno-oncology concept for inducing therapeutic T-cell responses in cancer patients. Here, we describe the systematic optimization of azaindole-based lead compound
