JNK kinase - group stress-activated kinases that are involved in apoptosis, growth, development and differentiation of cells. JNK kinase activation is observed in the development of inflammatory processes, neurodegenerative disorders, insulin resistance, some types of cancer. Therefore, the search for new inhibitors of kinases JNK is an important and urgent problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the activity of the new compounds, potential inhibitors of JNK kinases. Experiments were performed on isolated rat hepatocytes. It was determined the content of JNK and its active phosphorylated form (p-JNK), the activity of glycogen synthetase (GS) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). It was found that substances G0003, G0004, G0006 and G0007 inhibited the activity of JNK, reducing the content of p-JNK, decreased GS activity and increased ALT activity. We have found that substances G0006 and G0007 showed the highest activity.
