Abstract

The present invention provides novel compounds according to Formula (I): where Ring A, Ring B, X, L 1 , L 2 , R A , R C , R D , R E , m, n, and p are as defined herein. Compounds of the present invention are contemplated useful for the prevention and treatment of a variety of human diseases associated with kinase activity, for example, proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, inflammatory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.
