We describe the identification and characterization of a series of covalent inhibitors of the C-terminal kinase domain (CTKD) of MSK1. The initial hit was identified via a high-throughput screening and represents a rare example of a covalent inhibitor which acts via an S<sub>N</sub>Ar reaction of a 2,5-dichloropyrimidine with a cysteine residue (Cys440). The covalent mechanism of action was supported by <i>in vitro</i> biochemical experiments and was confirmed by mass spectrometry. Ultimately, t ...[more]
