Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I) and isomers, salts, solvates, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, an option ally substituted C1-7 alkyl group, C3-20 heterocyclyl group, or C5-20 aryl group, or may together form, along with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring having from 4 to 8 ring atoms; and R3 is an optionally substituted C3-20 heterocyclyl or C5-20 aryl group, and their use as pharmaceuticals, particularly in treating diseases which are retroviral mediated or ameliorated by the inhibition of DNA-PK,

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein R2 is 2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidin-1-yl, or NHCH(R4)CH(R3)OH, wherein R3 is hydrogen or methyl and R4 is methyl, ethyl or isopropyl; R6 is 3-nitrophenylamino, 3,4-dimethoxybenzylamino, 3-iodobenzyl-amino, pyrid-2-yl-methylamino, pyrid-4-yl-methylamino or indan-5-amino; R9 is isopropyl or cyclopentanyl. In a further aspect, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds, and the use thereof in treating antiproliferative disorders and or viral disorders.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of compounds of formula (I) and isomers, salts, solvates, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof, in the preparation of a medicament for inhibiting the activity of DNA-PK, wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, an optionally substituted C1-7 alkyl group, C3-20 heterocyclyl group, or C5-20 aryl group, or may together form, along with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring having from 4 to 8 ring atoms; X and Y are selected from CR4 and O, O and CR′4 and NR″4 and N, where the unsaturation is in the appropriate place in the ring, and where one of R3 and R4 or R′4 is an optionally substituted C3-20 heteroaryl or C5-20 aryl group, and the other of R3 and R4 or R′4 is H, or R3 and R4 or R″4 together are —A—B—, which collectively represent a fused optionally substituted aromatic ring.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmacodynamic marker for the candidate 2,6,9-tri-substituted purine known as roscovitine. The identity of this marker facilitates the convenient identification of roscovitine activity both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract: Agents useful for detecting hypoxic tumor cells are provided. The compounds have the structural formula (I) ##STR1## Methods of using the compounds to detect hypoxic tumor cells are also provided, as are pharmaceutical compositions formulated with the novel compounds.
