We have been developing new inhibitors for c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3) as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We identified potential JNK3 inhibitors through pharmacodynamic optimization studies, including benzimidazole compounds and , but their unreliable pharmacokinetic properties led us to develop carbamate inhibitors and . In vitro studies validated carbamate inhibitors and as potent and highly selective JNK3 inhibitors with favorable pharmacokinetic profiles.

The small intestine is the second-most frequent location where GISTs occur after the stomach. Attention should be paid to small intestinal GISTs because they infrequently present with acute abdomen, which necessitates emergency surgery.
