The regiospecific synthesis of 2a (Scheme 3), a novel and potent pyridinyl imidazole inhibitor of p38 MAP (mitogen-activated protein) kinase, and the regioselective preparation of its regioisomer 2b (Scheme 4) are described. Chromatographic and spectroscopic data are presented, which in this class of compounds allow the unambiguous identification of regioisomers prepared by a nonregiospecific synthetic strategy. Biological data demonstrating the importance of the correct regiochemistry for inhibition of p38 are given.

The alphastat hypothesis states that intracellular acid-base status is regulated to maintain constancy of the fractional dissociation of intracellular protein and enzyme imidazole-histidine (alpha-imidazole). A major drawback of this theory has been the lack of a means...
