Abstract: This application discloses novel pyrimidinyl pyridone derivatives according to Formula I, wherein R1, R2, and R3 are defined as described herein, which inhibit JNK. The compounds disclosed herein are useful to modulate the activity of JNK and treat diseases associated with excessive JNK activity. The compounds are useful to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, metabolic, and neurological diseases as well as cancer. Also disclosed are compositions comprising the compound of Formula I and methods of treatment comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Formula I to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Compounds of formula I are effective modulators of JNK: wherein X is CR11 or N; Y is —C(O)R3, 5-membered heteroaryl, or 5-membered heterocyclyl; Z is phenyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl or heteroaryl, and is substituted with R1 and R2; R1 and R2 are each independently H, halo, CN, lower alkyl, or —Y1—Y2—Y3—R8, or R1 and R2 together form —O(CH2)nO—, where n is 1 or 2; Y1 is —O—, —C(O)—, —C(O)O—, —C(O)NR9—, —NR9C(O)—, —S—, —SO2—, or a bond; Y2 is cycloalkylene, heterocycloalkylene, lower alkylene or a bond; Y3 is —O—, —C(O)—, —C(O)O—, —C(O)NR9—, —NR9C(O)—, —SO2—, or a bond; R8 is H, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, or —NR9R10, wherein R8 other than H is optionally substituted with lower alkyl, halo, —CF3, or —OH; R9 and R10 are each independently H or lower alkyl; R3 is OH, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, (lower alkoxy)-lower alkoxy, or —NR9R10; R4 is lower alkyl, phenyl, heterocyclyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl, and is optionally substituted with lower alkyl, hydro
