  • Patent number: 8173654
    Abstract: The invention is directed to triazolopyridazine compounds of Formula I: where R1, R5, R6, R7, R8, and A are as defined herein, the use of such compounds as protein tyrosine kinase modulators, particularly inhibitors of c-Met, and the use of such compounds to reduce or inhibit kinase activity of c-Met in a cell or a subject, and modulate c-Met expression in a cell or subject, and the use of such compounds for preventing or treating in a subject a cell proliferative disorder and/or disorders related to c-Met. The present invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention and to methods for treating conditions such as cancers and other cell proliferative disorders.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V.
    Inventors: Tianbao Lu, Richard Alexander, Richard W. Connors, Maxwell D. Cummings, Robert A. Galemmo, Heather Rae Hufnagel, Dana L. Johnson, Ehab Khalil, Kristi A. Leonard, Thomas P. Markotan, Anna C. Maroney, Jan L. Sechler, Jeremy M. Travins, Robert W. Tuman
  • Publication number: 20110151470
    Abstract: Biomarkers that correlate to treatment with drugs that inhibit c-met are disclosed. These biomarkers have been shown to have utility in assessing response to the compounds. The expression level of the biomarkers is reduced upon treatment with c-met inhibitor compounds, thus indicating that these biomarkers are involved in c-met activity.

  • Patent number: 5218090
    Abstract: The present invention is for EGF receptor truncates which retain the activity of ligand binding for the EGF receptor. The specific truncates include LD.sub.1 D.sub.2 D.sub.3.Apa L encompassing amino acids Met.sub.-24 to Val.sub.505 of the EGF receptor; for LD.sub.2 D.sub.3 D.sub.4 which melds the EGF receptor leader peptide (amino acids Met.sub.-24 to Ala.sub.-1), 9 amino acids of the mature amino terminus of the receptor (Leu.sub.1 to Gly.sub.9) and receptor sequences Ser.sub.150 to Gly.sub.625 ; for LD.sub.3 D.sub.4 which is the leader peptide (Met.sub.-24 to Ala.sub.-1), Leu.sub.1 to Gln.sub.8 of the mature amino terminus and the receptor sequence Asp.sub.297 to Gly.sub.625.
