摘要:
This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecule compounds having a 6,6-heterocyclic structure (e.g., compounds having a naphthyridine, pyrido-pyridazine, pyrido-pyrazine, quinoline, pyrazino-pyridazine, pyrimido-pyrimidine, quinazoline, quinoxaline or cinnoline ring system) which function as inhibitors of DYRK1A, DYRK1B, DYRK2, DYRK3, CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, CLK4, CDK7, CDK8/19, PI3K, PDGFrA/B, mTOR, WNT, homeodomain-interacting kinases (HIPKs), and/or CMGC kinases leading to inhibition of WNT signaling, and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, down syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders (e.g., airway inflammation, osteoarthritis (e.g., knee related osteoarthritis)), cancer (e.g., glioblastoma, prostate cancer, metastatic breast cancer, metastatic lung cancer, multiple myeloma, secondary metastatic tumors of the brain, colorectal cancer and metastatic colorectal cancer (e.g., metastatic colorectal cancer in the liver)), and other diseases.
