Abstract:
The invention relates to compounds useful as inhibitors of NO production, especially inhibitors of the inducible NO synthase iNOS expressed by microglia and macrophages. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to therapeutic uses of these compounds, especially in the prophylaxis or treatment of conditions characterized by excess NO production, such as ischemic stroke and retinopathies.
Abstract:
The present application relates to compounds of formula (1) and their use as medicament, in particular for the treatment of a medical condition associated with defective PI3K signalling.
Abstract:
The invention relates to chemical compounds that are useful in the treatment of a subject afflicted by a thyroid disease, in particular to compounds that exhibit activity as thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) antagonists and their use in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease, Graves' Ophthalmopathy and thyroid cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I'), tautomers, stereoisomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical formulations containing such compounds and to their use in therapy (I') (wherein: Z represents an optionally substituted, 5- or 6-membered unsaturated heterocyclic group comprising at least one nitrogen atom; L represents a 4-, 5- or 6-membered cycloalkyl group, preferably a cyclobutyl group; each R1 independently represents F, CI, Br, I, C 1-3 alkyl, C1-3 haloalkyl (e.g. -CF 3 ), -CN, -OH or -NO2, preferably F, CI, Br or 1, e.g. CI or F; each R 2 independently represents F, CI, Br, I, C 1-3 alkyl, -CN, -OH or -NO 2 , preferably F, CI, Br, I or -CN, e.g. F or -CN; X represents -NR 3 - or -0-; R 3 represents H or a C 1-3 alkyl group (e.g. methyl); n is an integer from 0 to 5, preferably 0 to 3, more preferably 0, 1 or 2, e.g 1; and m is an integer from 0 to 5, preferably 0 to 3, more preferably 0, 1 or 2, e.g. 0 or 1). These compounds find particular use in the treatment and/or prevention of conditions or diseases which are affected by over-activation of signaling in the WNT pathway and increased presence of nuclear β-catenin. For example, these may be used in preventing and/or retarding proliferation of tumor cells and metastasis, for example carcinomas such as colon carcinomas.
Abstract:
The invention relates to chemical compounds and their use as a medicament in the treatment of a disease associated with genotoxic stress-induced I KK/NF-κΒ (NF-kappaB) activation, preferably in the treatment of a subject suffering from cancer exhibiting genotoxic stress-induced I KK/NF-κΒ activation. The invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention for the treatment of a subject afflicted by a disease associated with genotoxic stress-induced I KK/NF-κΒ activation.
