The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP) kinase 4 (MKK4) was found to be a major regulator of liver regeneration and could be a valuable drug target addressing liver related diseases by restoring its intrinsic regenerative capacity. We report on the synthesis and optimization of novel MKK4 inhibitors following a target-hopping strategy from the FDA-approved BRAFV600E inhibitor PLX4032 (8). Applying an iterative multi-parameter optimization process we carved out essential structural features yielding in compounds with a low nanomolar affinity for MKK4 and excellent selectivity profiles against the main off-targets MKK7 and JNK1, which, upon relevant inhibition, would totally abrogate the pro-regenerative effect of MKK4 inhibition, as well as against the off-targets MAP4K5, ZAK and BRAF with selectivity factors ranging from 40 to 430 for our best-balanced compounds 70 and 73.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) plays a key role in liver regeneration and is under investigation as a target for stimulating hepatocytes to increased proliferation. Therefore, new small molecules inhibiting MKK4 may represent a promising approach for treating acute and chronic liver diseases. Fluorescently labeled compounds are useful tools for high-throughput screenings of large compound libraries. Here we utilized the azaindole-based scaffold of FDA-approved BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib 1, which displays off-target activity on MKK4, as a starting point in our fluorescent compound design. Chemical variation of the scaffold and optimization led to a selection of fluorescent 5-TAMRA derivatives which possess high binding affinities on MKK4. Compound 45 represents a suitable tool compound for Fluorescence polarization assays to identify new small-molecule inhibitors of MKK4.
