Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Feb 1;18(3):938-41. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.12.037. Epub 2007 Dec 23.

Abstract

Optimization of pyrazinoindolone inhibitors of MAPKAP-K2 (MK2) provides a reasonable balance of cellular potency and physicochemical properties. Mechanistic studies support the inhibition of MK2 which is responsible for the sub-micromolar cellular efficacy.
