Abstract: The present invention is directed to certain fused pyrimidines having a homo or hetero cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cycloheptyl ring as the pyrimidine fusion partner; having an amino benzyl or substituted amino benzyl group at the 4 position of the pyrimidine ring; and a 5:6 heterobicyclo ring with at least one N, O or S at the 2 position of the pyrimidine ring. These compounds are useful for treatment of cancer by inhibition of the p97 complex.

Abstract: Fused pyrimidine compounds having a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic A ring fused to a pyrimidine ring and having a complex substituents at the 2 position and a substituted amine at the 4 position of the pyrimidine ring as well as optional aliphatic, functional and/or aromatic components substituted at other positions of the pyrimidine ring and A ring are disclosed. These compounds are inhibitors of the AAA proteasome complex containing p97 and are effective medicinal agents for treatment of diseases associated with p97 bioactivity such as cancer.

Abstract: Monocyclic pyrimidine and pyridine compounds having a benzyl amine substituent at the 4 position and a 5:6 bicyclic heteroaryl substituent at the 2 position of the pyrimidine or pyridine ring as well as optional aliphatic, functional and/or aromatic components substituted at other positions of the ring are disclosed. These compounds are inhibitors of the AAA proteasome complex containing p97 and are effective medicinal agents for treatment of diseases associated with p97 bioactivity such as cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed are fused pyrimidine compounds having scaffolds composed of left and right rings, the left ring being a saturated carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring and the right ring being a pyrimidine ring. The left saturated ring is fused to the pyrimidine ring at the 5 and 6 carbons of the pyrimidine. The saturated ring may be 5 or 6 members in size and may be all carbon or may contain a single oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom as one of the non-fused members of the ring. The pyrimidine ring is substituted at the two position by a 5:6 bicyclic aromatic heterocycle such as indole, benzimidazole or benzopyrazole and at the four position by an aryl methyl amino group. The 5:6 bicyclic aromatic heterocycle is substituted at its 2 position by hydrogen or an aliphatic or functional aliphatic group and at the 4 position by a functional group as described herein. The aryl methyl amino group may be aminobenzyl or aminomethyl-substituted phenyl.

Abstract: Monocyclic pyrimidine and pyridine compounds having a benzyl amine substituent at the 4 position and a 5:6 bicyclic heteroaryl substituent at the 2 position of the pyrimidine or pyridine ring as well as optional aliphatic, functional and/or aromatic components substituted at other positions of the ring are disclosed. These compounds are inhibitors of the AAA proteasome complex containing p97 and are effective medicinal agents for treatment of diseases associated with p97 bioactivity such as cancer.

Abstract: A group of fused two ring pyrimidine compounds having a heterocycles substituent at the 2 position and a substituted amine at the 4 position as well as optional aliphatic, functional and/or aromatic components substituted at other positions of the pyrimidine and other ring are disclosed. In addition a group of quinazoline compounds having similar substituents at the 2 and 4 positions as well as at other positions are disclosed. These compounds are inhibitors of the AAA proteasome complex containing p97 and are effective medicinal agents for treatment of diseases associated with p97 bioactivity.

Abstract: Compounds of Formulas I-XLIII are identified as direct inhibitors of p97 ATPase or of the degradation of a p97-dependent ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) substrate. Methods and compositions are disclosed for inhibiting p97 ATPase and the degradation of a p97-dependent UPS substrate, and for identifying inhibitors thereof.

Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of using such compounds to treat or prevent diseases or disorders associated with or mediated by JAMM proteins are disclosed. The compounds and compositions inhibit the enzymatic activity of a JAMM domain, including the JAMM domain of the CSN5 subunit of the COP9-signalsome (CSN), the JAMM domain of the Rpn11/Poh1/Psmd14 subunit of the 26S proteasome, the JAMM domain of AMSH, the JAMM domain of AMSH-LP, the JAMM domain of BRCC36, among other JAMM domains.
