Novel compounds having a fused bicyclic heteroaromatic ring system substituted with a heteroaryl five-membered ring are disclosed. The compounds inhibit growth of a variety of types of cancer cells, and are thus useful for treating cancer. Efficacy of these compounds is demonstrated with a system for monitoring cell growth/migration, which shows they are potent inhibitors of growth and/or migration of cancer cells. In addition, compounds of the invention were shown to stop growth of tumors in vivo, and to reduce the size of tumors in vivo. Compositions comprising these compounds, and methods to use these compounds and compositions for treatment of cancers, are disclosed.
本发明公开了具有被杂芳基五元环取代的融合双环杂芳基环系统的新型化合物。这些化合物可抑制多种类型癌细胞的生长,因此可用于治疗癌症。这些化合物的功效通过一个监测细胞生长/迁移的系统得到了证实,该系统显示这些化合物是癌细胞生长和/或迁移的强效
抑制剂。此外,本发明的化合物还能阻止体内肿瘤的生长,缩小体内肿瘤的大小。本发明还公开了包含这些化合物的组合物,以及使用这些化合物和组合物治疗癌症的方法。
