  • Publication number: 20160222014
    Abstract: The present application provides novel optionally substituted fused pyridine and pyrimidine bicyclic compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also provided are methods for preparing these compounds. These compounds are useful in co-regulating FAK and/or Src activity by administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the compounds to a subject. By doing so, these compounds are effective in treating conditions associated with the dysregulation of the FAK and/or Src pathway. Advantageously, these compounds perform as dual FAK and/or Src inhibitors. A variety of conditions can be treated using these compounds and include diseases which are characterized by inflammation or abnormal cellular proliferation. In one embodiment, the disease is cancer.
