The reactions of 2-pyridones with benzyne were investigated in order to gain some insight into the structure–reactivity–chemoselectivity relationship involved in the tautomeric systems. All reactions examined have resulted in the formation of Diels-Alder and Michael-type adducts. It has been shown that the Diels-Alder reactivities were well correlated with the HOMO energy levels of the 2-pyridone form and the yields of the Michael-type adduct were closely associated with the tautomeric equilibria. In summary, the chemoselectivities of 2-pyridones in the reaction with benzyne were largely affected by the tautomeric properties.
The present invention provides a compound having a superior Smo inhibitory activity and lower toxicity, which is sufficiently satisfactory as a pharmaceutical product.

Disclosed are methods of modulating a stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) system with an active compound, wherein the active compound exhibits low potency for inhibition of at least one p38 MAPK; and wherein the contacting is conducted at a SAPK-modulating concentration that is at a low percentage inhibitory concentration for inhibition of the at least one p38 MAPK by the compound. Also disclosed are derivatives of pirfenidone. These derivatives can modulate a stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) system.
