As the result of a rhJNK1 HTS, the imidazo[1,2-a]quinoxaline 1 was identified as a 1.6 μM rhJNK1 inhibitor. Optimization of this compound lead to AX13587 (rhJNK1 IC50=160 nM) which was co-crystallized with JNK1 to identify key molecular interactions. Kinase profiling against 125+ kinases revealed AX13587 was an inhibitor of JNK, MAST3, and MAST4 whereas its methylene homolog AX14373 (native JNK1 IC50=47 nM) was a highly specific JNK inhibitor.
