Abstract: Heterocyclic dihydroxyquinoxaline compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.2 is hydrogen, NO.sub.2, NH.sub.2, CN, halogen, or SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2 ; --X--Y--Z-- is selected from --N.dbd.N--N.sup.3 --,--NR.sup.3 --N.dbd.N--,.dbd.N--NR.sup.3 --N.dbd., wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or CF.sub.3.The invention also relates to a method of preparing the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and their use.The compounds are useful in the treatment of indications caused by hyperactivity of the excitatory neurotransmitters.

Abstract: This invention relates to bis mono- and/or bicyclic aryl and/or heteroaryl compounds exhibiting protein tyrosine kinase inhibition activity. More specifically, it relates to the method of inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation in a patient suffering from a disorder characterized by such proliferation comprising the administration thereto of an EGF and/or PDGF receptor inhibiting effective amount of said bis mono- and/or bicyclic aryl and/or heteroaryl compound and to the preparation of said compounds and their use in pharmaceutical compositions used in this method.
