Abstract: In this Letter, we describe the evolution of selective JNK3 inhibitors from 1, that routinely exhibit >10-fold selectivity over JNK1 and >1000-fold selectivity over related MAPKs. Strong SAR was found for substitution of the naphthalene ring, as well as for inhibitors adopting different central scaffolds. Significant potency gains were appreciated by inverting the polarity of the thione of the parent triazolothione 1, resulting in potent compounds with attractive pharmacokinetic profiles.
