Patent number: 6613776
Abstract: This invention describes novel pyrazole compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a compound of formula V:
wherein Z1 is N, CRa, or CH, and Z2 is N or CH, provided one of Z1 and Z2 is nitrogen; G is Ring C or Ring D; Ring C is selected from a phenyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, or 1,2,4-triazinyl ring, wherein said Ring C has one or two ortho substituents independently selected from —R1; Ring D is a 5-7 membered monocyclic ring or 8-10 membered bicyclic ring selected from aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl or carbocyclyl; Rx and Ry are independently selected from T—R3, or Rx and Ry are taken together with their intervening atoms to form a fused ring; and R1, R2, R2′, R3, and T are as described in the specification. The compounds are useful as protein kinase inhibitors, especially as inhibitors of aurora-2 and GSK-3, for treating diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
