Mitogen‐activated protein kinase‐activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) emerges as a pivotal target in developing anti‐cancer therapies. The limitations of ATP‐competitive inhibitors, due to insufficient potency and selectivity, underscore the urgent need for a covalent irreversible MK2 inhibitor. Our initial analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas database revealed MK2's overexpression across various cancer types, especially those characterized by inflammation, linking it to poor prognosis and highlighting its significance. Investigating MK2's kinase domain led to the identification of a unique cysteine residue, enabling the creation of targeted covalent inhibitors. Compound 11 was developed, demonstrating robust MK2 inhibition (IC50 = 2.3 nM) and high selectivity. It binds irreversibly to MK2, achieving prolonged signal suppression and reducing pathological inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. Furthermore, compound 11 or MK2 knockdown can inhibit the tumor‐promoting macrophage M2 phenotype in vitro and in vivo. In macrophage‐rich tumor model, compound 11 notably slowed growth in a dose‐dependent manner. These findings support MK2 as a promising anticancer target, especially relevant in cancers fueled by inflammation or dominated by macrophages, and provide compound 11 serving as an invaluable chemical tool for exploring MK2's functions.
