The molecule is a carboxamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2-thienylacetic acid with the amino group of methyl 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate. It is a selective inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs). It has a role as a c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor. It is a methyl ester, a member of thiophenes and a secondary carboxamide. It derives from a 2-thienylacetic acid.
