Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 Apr 1;17(7):2712-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2009.02.046. Epub 2009 Feb 26.

Abstract

A new series of 2-thioether-benzothiazoles has been synthesized and evaluated for JNK inhibition. The SAR studies led to the discovery of potent, allosteric JNK inhibitors with selectivity against p38.
