Imidazo [1, 2-a] pyridine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as inhibitors
of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1). These were based on a benzothiazole
derivative that was discovered from high-throughput screening of our compound library. As a
result, we identified potent, selective, and orally bioavailable ASK1 inhibitors for wide range
of therapeutic targets.
