c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays an important role in cell death caused by various stimuli. Because the isoform JNK3 is mainly expressed in the brain, it is believed to play a pivotal role in various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), which still lack plausible therapeutics. To develop a novel and selective JNK3 inhibitor, we conducted a decadal review (2011 to 2021) of published articles on JNK inhibitors, particularly those focusing on a structural perspective and docking insights. We observed the structures of three isoforms of JNK, namely holo-proteins and co-crystal structures, with JNK3 inhibitors and summarized the significant structural aspects of selective JNK3 inhibitors as AD therapeutics.
