Abstract: The invention is directed to physiologically active compounds of general formula (I):— and compositions containing such compounds; and their prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates of such compounds and their prodrugs, as well as to novel compounds within the scope of formula (I). Such compounds and compositions have valuable pharmaceutical properties, in particular the ability to inhibit kinases.

Abstract: The invention provides N-{[1,6-diethyl-4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylamino)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]methyl}-4-({8-[(2-hydroxyethyl)(methyl)amino]octanoyl}amino)benzamide, whose formula is , or a salt thereof, such as the monohydrochloride salt thereof. The invention also provides the use of the compound or salt as inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE4) and/or for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or rhinitis (e.g. allergic and/or non-allergic rhinitis).

Abstract: The invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof: wherein W is Ar, —CR4R5Ar or a group (y) or (y1), wherein Ar is (x) or (z): R1 is C1-4alkyl, C1-3fluoroalkyl or —CH2CH2OH. R2 is C2-6alkyl, C3-6cycloalkyl or —(CH2)n4-C3-6cycloalkyl; and R3 is optionally substituted C3-8cycloalkyl, optionally substituted mono-unsaturated-C5-7cycloalkenyl, an optionally substituted heterocyclic group (aa), (bb) or (cc) (in which Y is O, S, SO2, or NR10), or a bicyclic group (ee): These compounds are PDE4 inhibitors.

Abstract: The invention provides 4-{[1-(aminocarbonyl)-4-piperidinyl]amino}-N-[(3,4-dimethylphenyl)methyl]-1-ethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide, which is the compound of formula (I): or a salt thereof.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula and N-oxides, prodrugs, acid bioisosteres, pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates of such compounds, or N-oxides, prodrugs, or acid bioisosteres of such salts or solvates, to compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treatment comprising administering, to a patient in need thereof, such compounds and compositions.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE4) and are of use in the treatment of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof: wherein: R1 is Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, C2fluoroalkyl, or —CH2CH2OH; R2 is H, Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, C1-2fluoroalkyl, cyclopropyl or (cyclopropyl)methyl-; and NHR3 has the sub-formula (nhr3): wherein R3a is methyl or ethyl; R3b is H, methyl or ethyl; R3c is H, methyl or ethyl, R3d is H, methyl or ethyl, and R3e is H or methyl, provided that: (a) R3b is methyl or ethyl; and/or (b) R3c and R3d are independently methyl or ethyl; and provided that: (c) when R3c is ethyl and/or when R3d is ethyl and/or when R3e is methyl, then: R3a is methyl and/or R3b is hydrogen or methyl. These compounds are PDE4 inhibitors.

Abstract: The invention is directed to physiologically active compounds of the general formula (Ix) and compositions containing such compounds, and their prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates of such compounds and their prodrugs, as well as to novel compounds within the scope of formula (Ix), and to processes for their preparation. Such compounds and compositions have valuable pharmaceutical properties, in particular the ability to inhibit kinases.
