Résumé

The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) has recently been identified as druggable target for the treatment of acute liver failure in RNAi experiments. In these experiments MKK4 was identified to be a major regulator in hepatocyte regeneration. Inhibitors thereof may serve as medication to promote liver regeneration or reducing hepatocyte death. Just a small number of potent inhibitors with acceptable selectivity towards relevant off-targets are known up to date. Among the known potent inhibitors, selectivity is highly sensitive towards minor modifications of the molecule, which makes it necessary to carefully balance between potency and selectivity. In the herein presented study, a new class of Vemurafenib-derived inhibitors was investigated with α-carbolines as new scaffold. This new scaffold showed a remarkable intrinsic selectivity towards the chosen off-targets, without affecting potency towards MKK4 on a broad range of structural modifications.
