Currently, the therapeutic options for treatment of liver failure are very limited. As mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) has recently been identified by in vivo RNAi experiments to be a major regulator in hepatocyte regeneration, we pursued the development of a small molecule targeting this protein kinase. Starting from the approved BRAFV600E inhibitor vemurafenib (8), that showed a high off-target affinity to MKK4 in an initial screening, we followed a scaffold-hopping approach, changing the core heterocycle from 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine to 1H-pyrazolo[2,3-b]pyridine (10). Affinity to MKK4 could be conserved while the selectivity against off-target protein kinases was slightly improved. Further modifications led to 58 and 59 showing high affinity to MKK4 in the low nanomolar range and excellent selectivity profile from mandatory multiparameter-optimization for the essential anti-targets (MKK7, JNK1) and off-targets (BRAF, MAP4K5, ZAK) in the MKK4 pathway. Herein we report the first selective MKK4 inhibitors in this class.

A catalytic C-H alkylation using unactivated alkyl halides and a variety of arenes and heteroarenes is described. This ring-forming process is successful with a variety of unactivated primary and secondary alkyl halides, including those with β-hydrogens. In contrast to standard polar or radical cyclizations of aromatic systems, electronic activation of the substrate is not required. The mild, catalytic reaction conditions are highly functional group tolerant and facilitate access to a diverse range of synthetically and medicinally important carbocyclic and heterocyclic systems.
