Abstract
Introduction: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) regulates various biological processes through the phosphorylation cascade and is closely associated with numerous diseases, including inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Therefore, JNKs have emerged as potential targets for disease treatment.
Areas covered: This review compiles the patents and literatures concerning JNK inhibitors through retrieving relevant information from the SciFinder, Google Patents databases, and PubMed from 2015 to the present. It summarizes the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and biological activity profiles of JNK inhibitors, offering valuable perspectives on their potential therapeutic applications.
Expert opinion: The JNK kinase serves as a novel target for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, pulmonary fibrosis, and other illnesses. A variety of small-molecule inhibitors targeting JNKs have demonstrated promising therapeutic potential in preclinical studies, which act upon JNK kinases via distinct mechanisms, encompassing traditional ATP competitive inhibition, covalent inhibition, and bidentate inhibition. Among them, several JNK inhibitors from PregLem SA, Celegene SA, and Xigen SA have accomplished the early stage of clinical trials, and their results will guide the development and indications of future JNK inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents (ISSN 1354-3776 [print], 1744-7674 [electronic]) is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing review articles on recent pharmaceutical patent claims, providing expert opinion the scope for future development, in the context of the scientific literature.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering recent patent claims on compounds or applications with therapeutic potential, including biotherapeutics and small-molecule agents with specific molecular targets; and patenting trends in a particular therapeutic area
Patent Evaluations examining the aims and chemical and biological claims of individual patents
Perspectives on issues relating to intellectual property
The audience consists of scientists, managers and decision-makers in the pharmaceutical industry and others closely involved in R&D
