Abstract: The present invention relates to combination comprising (i) an ErbB inhibitor; and (ii) a CDK inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, selected from: (a) roscovitine; (b) 3-{9-isopropyl-6-[(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-amino]-9H-purin-2-ylamino}-2-methyl-pentan-2-ol; (c) 3-{9-isopropyl-6-[(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-amino]-9H-purin-2-ylamino}-pentan-2-ol; and (d) (2R,3S-3-(6-((4,6-dimethylpyridin-3-ylmethylamino)-9-isopropyl-9H-purin-2-ylamino)pentan-2-ol. Further aspects of the invention relate to pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical compositions comprising combinations according to the invention, and methods of treatment using the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein: R1 and R2 are each independently H, alkyl or haloalkyl; R3 and R4 are each independently H, alkyl, haloalkyl or aryl; R5 is alkyl or cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl-alkyl, each of which may be optionally substituted with one or more OH groups; R6 is selected from cyclopropylamino, cyclopropylmethylamino, cyclobutylamino, cyclobutylmethylamino and where one of X, Y and Z is N and the remainder are CR9; R7, R8 and each R9 are independently H, alkyl or haloalkyl, wherein at least one of R7, R8 and each R9 is other than H. A further aspect of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I), and the use of said compounds in treating proliferative disorders, viral disorders, stroke, alopecia, CNS disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, or diabetes.

Abstract: A first aspect of the invention relates to a combination comprising roscovitine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a HDAC inhibitor selected from sodium butyrate, or a prodrug thereof, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), sodium valproate and trichostatin A (TSA). A second aspect of the invention relates to a pharmaceutical product comprising roscovitine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a HDAC inhibitor selected from sodium butyrate, or a prodrug thereof, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), sodium valproate and trichostatin A (TSA) as a combined preparation for simultaneous, sequential or separate use in therapy.

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