each of R 2 and R 3 is independently R′, —OR′, —SR′, —N(R′) 2 , —OC(O)R′, —SOR′, —SO 2 R′, —SO 2 N(R′) 2 , —C(O)N(R′) 2 , —NR′C(O)R′, or —NR′SO 2 R′;
m is 0-3;
Ring B is an optionally substituted group selected from phenyl or a 5-6 membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur;
each of p and q is independently 0-4;
each of Ring C and Ring D is independently an optionally substituted 5-membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-4 nitrogen atoms;
each of R x , R y and R z is independently halogen, —OR′, —N(R′) 2 , —NR′C(O)R′, —NR′C(O)OR′, —NR′C(O)N(R′) 2 , —NR′SO 2 R′, —NR′SO 2 N(R′) 2 , —NR′OR′, or an optionally substituted group selected from C 1-20 aliphatic, C 1-20 heteroaliphatic having 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, phenyl, a 3-7 membered saturated or partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring, an 8-10 membered bicyclic saturated, partially unsaturated or aryl ring, a 5-6 membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, a 3-7 membered saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring having 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, a 7-10 membered bicyclic saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, or an 8-10 membered bicyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur;
R 4 is an optionally substituted 5-membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-2 nitrogen atoms; and
each R′ is independently hydrogen or an optionally substituted group selected from C 1-6 aliphatic, phenyl, a 3-7 membered saturated or partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring, an 8-10 membered bicyclic saturated, partially unsaturated or aryl ring, a 5-6 membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, a 3-7 membered saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring having 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, a 7-10 membered bicyclic saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, or an 8-10 membered bicyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur; or:
two R′ groups on the same nitrogen atom are optionally taken together with the nitrogen atom to form an optionally substituted 3-8 membered, saturated, partially unsaturated, or aryl ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein one of R 2 and R 3 is hydrogen and the other is optionally substituted C 1-20 aliphatic.
