The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) which are inhibitors of MKK4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4) and their use in promoting liver regeneration or reducing or preventing hepatocyte death. The compounds selectively inhibit protein kinase MKK4 over protein kinases JNK1 and MKK7. In formula (I), especially, Rw is -NR10SO2R12; either a) Rx and R y are F and R z and R zz are H; or b ) R x, R y and R zz are independently halogen and R z is H; R 5 is substituted phenyl or pyrimidinyl.
该发明涉及式(I)的化合物,这些化合物是MKK4(丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶4)的
抑制剂,用于促进肝再生或减少或预防肝
细胞死亡。这些化合物选择性地抑制蛋白激酶MKK4而不是蛋白激酶JNK1和MKK7。在式(I)中,特别是,Rw为-NR10SO2R12;要么a)Rx和R y为F,R z和R zz为H;要么b)Rx,R y和R zz分别为卤素,R z为H;R 5为取代苯基或
嘧啶基。
