Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 3-Arylindazoles as Selective MEK4 Inhibitors
Herein we report the discovery of a novel series of highly potent and selective mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MEK4) inhibitors. MEK4 is an upstream kinase in MAPK signaling pathways that phosphorylates p38 MAPK and JNK in response to mitogenic and cellular stress queues. MEK4 is overexpressed and induces metastasis in advanced prostate cancer lesions. However, the value of MEK4 as an oncology target has not been pharmacologically validated because selective chemical probes targeting MEK4 have not been developed. Optimization of this series via structure–activity relationships and molecular modeling led to the identification of compound 6 ff (4-(6-fluoro-2H-indazol-3-yl)benzoic acid), a highly potent and selective MEK4 inhibitor. This series of inhibitors is the first of its kind in both activity and selectivity and will be useful in further defining the role of MEK4 in prostate and other cancers.

Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction of unprotected 3-iodoindazoles with pinacol vinyl boronate: An expeditive C-3 vinylation of indazoles under microwave irradiation
Herein we report an expeditive C-3 vinylation of unprotected 3-iodoindazoles under microwave irradiation. Ten C-5 substituted 3-vinylindazole derivatives, nine of them novel, were synthesized through this method, which proceeds in moderate to excellent yields starting from C-5 substituted 3-iodoindazole derivatives. In all cases, the C-3 vinylated derivative was the only isolated product. This methodology allows access to 3-vinylated indazoles selectively and directly without the need of N-protection. 3-Vinylindazoles could be interesting synthetic intermediates allowing access to biologically active molecules.
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), to the process for preparing such compounds and to their use in the treatment of a pathological condition or disease susceptible to amelioration by CRTh2 antagonist activity.

Identification of potent ITK inhibitors through focused compound library design including structural information
A series of novel compound libraries inhibiting interleukin-2 inducible T cell kinase (ITK) were designed, synthesized and evaluated. In the first design cycle two library scaffolds were identified showing low micromolar inhibition of ITK. Further iterative design cycles including crystal structure information of ITK and structurally related kinases led to the identification of indolylindazole and indolylpyrazolopyridine compounds with low nanomolar ITK inhibition.
