Chemistry has been developed to specifically functionalize two structurally similar classes of indole-based MK2 inhibitors at positions prompted by a combination of X-ray crystallographic and computer assisted drug design. A gain in molecular potency was obtained by introducing aminomethyl groups to the lactam rings of 6-arylcarbamoyl-tetrahydro-beta-carbolinone and 6-arylcarbamoyl-dihydropyrazino[1,2-a] indolone MK2 inhibitors. In addition, improvements in molecular potency were achieved by expansion of the lactam from a 6- to 7-membered ring leading to 7-arylcarbamoyl-tetrahydro-[1,4] diazepino[1,2-a]indolones.
