Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel method of preparing of 2,4,8-trisubstituted pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one pharmacophores of Formula (II) or (IIa) wherein G1 is CH2 or NH: G2 is CH or nitrogen; Rx is chloro, bromo, iodo, or O—S(O)2CF3; Rg is a C1-10alkyl; m is 0, or an integer having a value of 1, or 2; R3 is a C1-10 alkyl, C3-7 cycloalkyl, C3-7 cycloalkyl C1-10 alkyl, aryl, arylC1-10 alkyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylC1-10 alkyl, heterocyclic or a heterocyclylC1-10 alkyl moiety, and wherein each of these moieties may be optionally substituted. which comprises reacting a compound of the formula: wherein Ry is chloro, bromo, iodo, O—S(O)2CF3; and Rg is a C1-10 alkyl; with a olefin forming reagent in a suitable base to yield a compound of Formula (II), or (IIa) wherein m=0 and oxidizing the sulphur as necessary or desired.

Abstract: The invention is directed to novel indazole carboxamide derivatives. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds according to formula (I): where R1 and R2 are as defined below. These compounds are useful in the treatment of disorders associated with inappropriate IKK2 (also known as IKK?) activity, in particular in the treatment and prevention of disorders mediated by IKK2 mechanisms including inflammatory and tissue repair disorders. Such disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Abstract: The invention is directed to novel azaindole and azaindazole carboxamide derivatives. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds according to formula (I): where R1, R2, T1, T2 and T3 are defined below. These compounds are useful in the treatment of disorders associated with inappropriate IKK2 (also known as IKK?) activity, in particular in the treatment and prevention of disorders mediated by IKK2 mechanisms including inflammatory and tissue repair disorders. Such disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Abstract: The invention is directed to novel indole carboxamide derivatives. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds according to formula I: where R1, R2, R3, U and V are defined below and to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of IKK2 and can be useful in the treatment of disorders associated with inappropriate IKK2 (also known as IKK?) activity, such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Accordingly, the invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention. The invention is still further directed to methods of inhibiting IKK2 activity and treatment of disorders associated therewith using a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention.

Abstract: Novel substituted 1,5,7-trisubstituted-1,8-napthyridin-2(1H)-one compounds; 1,5,7 trisubstituted-1,6-napthyridine-2-(1H)-one compounds and 1,5,7-trisubstituted quinoline-2(1H)-one compounds, processes for the preparation thereof, the use thereof in treating CSBP/p38 kinase mediated diseases and pharmaceutical compositions for use in such therapy.
