  • Publication number: 20070213325
    Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical compounds having a general formula I wherein A, B, C1, C2, D, L1, L2 and R3-4 are defined herein, and synthetic intermediates, which are capable of modulating various protein kinase receptor enzymes and, thereby, influencing various disease states and conditions related to the activities of such kinases. For example, the compounds are capable of modulating Tie-2 and Aurora kinase enzymes thereby influencing angiogenesis and the process of cell cycle and cell proliferation, respectively, to treat cancer and cancer-related diseases. The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions, including the compounds, and methods of treating disease states related to the activity of various protein kinases.
