Abstract: The invention relates to pyrazolo-pyridine compounds which inhibit mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) and in particular, selectively inhibit MKK4 over protein kinases JNK1 and MKK7. The compounds are useful for promoting liver regeneration or reducing or preventing hepatocyte death. They are further useful for treating osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, or CNS-related diseases.

Abstract: 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 JNK and MKK7. (I), wherein Rx, Ry, Rz and Rzz are selected from: a) Rx and Ry are F and Rz and Rzz are H; b) Rx, Ry and Rzz are independently halogen and Rz is H; c) Rx Rz and Rzz are independently halogen and Ry is H; and d) Rx Ry and Rz are independently halogen and Rzz is H.
