Spiro Ring System Patents (Class 514/462)
  • Patent number: 7834026
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of substituted spirocyclic compounds, represented by the following structural Formula: I Wherein A, B and D are independently selected from CR12, NR1a, C(O) and O; E is selected from a bond, CR12, NR1a, C(O) and O; wherein at least one of A, B, D or E is CR12; and provided that when A is O, then E is not O; G is CR12; R is selected from NH2 and OH; These compounds can inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing termin differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells.
