Abstract: The present invention relates to organic molecules capable of modulating, regulating and/or inhibiting protein kinase signal transduction. Such compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases related to unregulated protein kinase signal transduction, including cell proliferative diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis and restenosis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. The present invention features indolinone compounds that potently inhibit protein kinases and related products and methods. Inhibitors specific to the FLK protein kinase can be obtained by adding chemical substituents to the 3-[(indole-3-yl)methylene]-2-indolinone, in particular at the 1′ position of the indole ring. Indolinone compounds that specifically inhibit the FLK and platelet derived growth factor protein kinases can harbor a tetrahydroindole or cyclopentano-b-pyrrol moiety.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of assessing the molecular stage of an disease characterized by abnormal angiogenesis. More particularly, the invention is directed to a method of determining the metastatic potential of a tumor by determining the presence of specific molecular markers. The invention is based in part on the discovery that the key marker for determining the eventual metastasis of a tumor is vascular endothelia growth factor. Knowledge of the particular markers present in a tumor condition allows the physician to tailor cancer treatment and manage the disease condition.

Abstract: The present invention concerns compounds which can inhibit platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) activity, preferably such compounds also inhibit the activity other members of the PDGF-R super family and are selective for members of the PDGF-R super family. The PDGF-R super family includes PDGF-R and PDGF-R related kinases Flt, and KDR. The featured compounds are active on cell cultures to reduce the activity of the PDGF-R and preferably one or more PDGF-R related kinases. An example of a featured compound, A10 (see FIG. 1a), and its ability to inhibit growth of tumor cells in vivo is described below. Using the present application as guide other compounds able to inhibit PDGF-R and preferably Flt and/or KDR can be obtained. Such compounds are preferably used to treat patients suffering from cell proliferative disorders characterized by inappropriate PDGF-R activity.

Abstract: The invention is directed to rapid and quantitative assay systems for screening test compounds for their ability to modulate tyrosine kinase or phosphatase activities involved in signal transduction by determining the tyrosine phosphorylation state of a protein substrate using an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody and an antibody specific for the protein substrate. These assays may be practiced in a whole cell or cell-free system. The assays can be used to identify test compounds for use in therapeutic applications to disease processes in which tyrosine kinase or phosphatase activity in a signal transduction pathway contributes to a pathological process.
