Design Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship of Substrate Competitive Selective and in Vivo Active Triazole and Thiadiazole inhibitors of the c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase

摘要

We report comprehensive structure activity relationship studies on a novel series of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitors. The compounds are substrate competitive inhibitors that bind to the docking site of the kinase. The reported medicinal chemistry and structure-based optimizations studies resulted in the discovery of selective and potent thiadiazole JNK inhibitors that displays promising in vivo activity in mouse models of insulin insensitivity.
