The present invention relates to thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives for use in the treatment and/or the prevention of a disease selected from the group consisting of inflammation, cancer, vascular diseases, kidney diseases, cognitive disorders, pain, infections, obesity, and cardiac diseases. Indeed, the inventors found that thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives of the invention are inhibitors of the Epac protein and can thus be useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases wherein the Epac protein is involved. Particularly, the inventors showed that thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives of the invention are potent and non-competitive inhibitors of Epac and demonstrated that they also inhibit the activation of Epac downstream effectors such as Rap1 in cells.
