Abstract: A compound of the general formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates, crystal forms or diastereomers thereof is described. A method of treating tyrosine kinase-associated disease states in a subject using a compound of formula (I) is also described.

Abstract: Compounds of general formula (I), (II) (III) and (V) are described for use in modulating microtubule polymerisation and in the treatment of associated disease states. Use of compounds (I), (III) and (V) in the treatment of kinase-associated disease states is also described. Further described are novel compounds of formula (II), (III) and (V).

Abstract: The present invention relates to N-containing heterocyclic compounds that are inhibitors of protein kinases including JAK kinases. In particular, the compounds are selective for JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2 kinases and combinations thereof such as JAK1 and JAK2. The kinase inhibitors can be used in the treatment of kinase associated diseases such as immunological and inflammatory diseases including organ transplants; hyperproliferative diseases including cancer and myeloproliferative diseases; viral diseases; metabolic diseases; and vascular diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of selecting or designing a compound for the ability to regulate JAK activity. The method comprises assessing the ability of the compound to modulate the interaction of the pseudo-substrate loop (PSL) with the kinase like domain (KLD) of JAK. In addition the present invention provides compounds which inhibit JAK and methods of treatment of JAK-associated disease states.

Abstract: A compound of general formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates, crystal forms or diastereomers thereof is described. A method of treating kinase-associated disease states using the compound of formula (I) is also described.
