Discovery of a new class of DFG-out p38α kinase inhibitors with no hinge interaction is described. A computationally assisted, virtual fragment-based drug design (vFBDD) platform was utilized to identify novel non-aromatic fragments which make productive hydrogen bond interactions with Arg 70 on the αC-helix. Molecules incorporating these fragments were found to be potent inhibitors of p38 kinase. X-ray co-crystal structures confirmed the predicted binding modes. A lead compound was identified as a potent (p38α IC50 = 22 nM) and highly selective (≥150-fold against 150 kinase panel) DFG-out p38 kinase inhibitor.
