Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery of prodrugs of substituted analogues of the selective platelet lowering agent anagrelide which have reduced potential for cardiovascular side-effects and which should therefore lead to improved patient compliance and safety in the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to prodrugs of certain imidazoquinazoline derivatives which have the general formula (I) shown below wherein the substituents have the meanings defined in claim 1 and which have utility as platelet lowering agents in humans. The compounds of the present invention function by inhibiting the formation of blood platelets.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of compounds of formula (I) and isomers, salts, solvates, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof, in the preparation of a medicament for inhibiting the activity of DNA-PK, wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, an optionally substituted C1-7 alkyl group, C3-20 heterocyclyl group, or C5-20 aryl group, or may together form, along with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring having from 4 to 8 ring atoms; X and Y are selected from CR4 and O, O and CR′4 and NR″4 and N, where the unsaturation is in the appropriate place in the ring, and where one of R3 and R4 or R′4 is an optionally substituted C3-20 heteroaryl or C5-20 aryl group, and the other of R3 and R4 or R′4 is H, or R3 and R4 or R″4 together are -A-B—, which collectively represent a fused optionally substituted aromatic ring. The compounds also selectively inhibit the activity of DNA-PK compared to PI 3-kinase and/or ATM.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula I: wherein A, B and D are respectively selected from the group consisting of: (i) CH, NH, C; (ii) CH, N, N;and (iii) CH, O, C; the dotted lines represent two double bonds in the appropriate locations; and where Z is selected from S, O, C(═O), CH2 and NH are disclosed for use in inhibiting DNA-PK.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for producing quinazoline compounds which are useful in therapy. More specifically, the compounds produced by the process of the invention are useful in the treatment of a number of cardiovascular diseases. The process of the invention provides 6,7-dichloro-1,5-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin 2(3H)-one, more commonly known as anagrelide and its analogues in a clean and efficient manner.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery of substituted analogues of the selective platelet lowering agent anagrelide with reduced potential for cardiovascular side-effects which should lead to improved patient compliance and safety in the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to certain imidazoquinazoline derivatives which have the general formula shown below wherein the substituents have the meanings defined in claim 1: and which have utility as platelet lowering agents in humans. The compounds of the present invention function by inhibiting megakaryocytopoeisis and hence the formation of blood platelets.
