  • Patent number: 8686020
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of substituted spirocyclic compounds. These compounds can inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal 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. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
    Inventors: Christopher Hamblett, Joey L. Methot, Thomas Miller, David L. Sloman, Matthew G. Stanton, Paul Tempest, Anna A. Zabierek
  • Patent number: 8119652
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of aryl-fused spirocyclic compounds. These compounds can inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal 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. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases.

  • 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.
