Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) has emerged as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy due to its critical role as a negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Despite this potential, no HPK1 inhibitors have been approved for cancer treatment, underscoring the need for structurally novel inhibitors. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of potent HPK1 inhibitors based on our previously identified hit 9. Among them, compound 24 demonstrated strong HPK1 inhibition (IC
