The invention is directed to small organic molecules having the ability to mimic or agonize hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) activity, or inhibit or antagonize HGF/SF activity, the former useful for promoting, for example, vascularization of tissues or organs for promoting wound or tissue healing, or augmenting or restoring blood flow to ischemic tissues such as the heart following myocardial infarction. Inhibition of cellular growth or proliferation is beneficial in the treatment, for example, of inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory joint and skin diseases, and dysproliferative diseases such as cancer.
该发明涉及具有模拟或激活肝细胞生长因子/散发因子(HGF/SF)活性的小有机分子,或抑制或拮抗HGF/SF活性的能力,前者可用于促进组织或器官的血管化,促进伤口或组织愈合,或增强或恢复缺血组织(例如心肌梗死后的心脏)的血流。细胞生长或增殖的抑制对于治疗炎症性疾病(如炎性关节和皮肤疾病)和增殖异常性疾病(如癌症)是有益的。
