Activation of the tyrosine kinase ZAP 70 has been shown to be crucial to th
e transduction of the T-cell receptor signalling pathway, which leads ultim
ately to proliferation, cytokine gene expression and T-cell effector functi
ons. A series of 2-phenylaminopyrimidines have been identified as potent an
