A solution of 5-(3-Isobutylureido)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (compound 351.6, 0.11 g, 0.46 mmol), 4-(piperidin-4-yl)benzonitrile HCl salt (compound 1.5, 0.097 g, 0.4 6 mmol), EDCI (0.090 g, 0.51 mmol), HOBT (0.065 g, 0.51 mmol, with 20% H2O) and DIEA (0.22 ml, 1.38 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then diluted with 50 ml of ethyl acetate and washed with 2×20 ml of brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified using prep.-TLC and developed using neat ethyl acetate to yield 25 mg of the title compound as an off-white solid. m/z (ES+) 409 (M+H)+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ8.46 (s, 1H), 7.76 (d, 2H), 7.49 (d, 2H), 6.48 (t, 1H), 6.37 (s, 1H), 4.84 (d, 1H), 4.63 (d, 1H), 3.65 (s, 3H), 3.14 (m, 1H), 2.92 (t, 3H), 2.79 (m, 2H), 1.85 (m, 1H), 1.67 (m, 1H), 1.57 (m, 2H), 0.87 (d, 6H).
