Employing phenylmalonitrile dianion chemistry, a large number of analogues of MEK inhibitor lead SH053 (IC50=140 nM) were rapidly synthesized leading to single digit nM inhibitors, displaying submicromolar AP-1 transcription inhibition in COS-7 cells. Compound 41, exhibiting a MEK IC 50=12 nM showed ip activity in a TPA-induced ear edema model with an ED50=5 mg/kg.
