c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are involved in critical cellular functions. Herein, small-molecule JNK-targeting probes are reported based on a covalent inhibitor. Together with newly developed two-photon fluorescence Turn-ON reporters and chemoproteomic studies, we showed some probes may be suitable for live-cell imaging and profiling of JNKs.
