  • Patent number: 9096559
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of 4-carboxybenzylamino derivatives. The 4-carboxybenzylamino compounds can be used to treat cancer. The 4-carboxybenzylamino compounds can also 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: 8822514
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of Formulas I and II, wherein B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, ring D, L1, L2 and R1-4 are defined herein, synthetic intermediates, and pharmaceutical compositions, comprising such compounds. The compounds and compositions are capable of modulating various protein kinase receptors such as Tie-2 and Aurora and, therefore, influencing kinase related disease states and conditions. The compounds, for example, are capable of treating cancer caused by unregulated angiogenesis, and inflammation as well as other proliferative disorders.

  • Patent number: 8476434
    Abstract: The present invention relates to chemical compounds having a general formula I wherein A, B, D, E, G, H1-5 and R1-4 are defined herein, and synthetic intermediates, which are capable of modulating various protein kinase receptor enzymes and, thereby, influencing various disease states and conditions related to the activities of these kinases. For example, the compounds are capable of modulating kinase enzymes thereby influencing the process of angiogenesis and treating angiogenesis-related diseases and other proliferative disorders, including cancer and inflammation. The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions, including the compounds, and methods of treating disease states related to the activity of protein kinases.
