Novel compounds and methods of using those compounds for the treatment of oncological conditions are provided. In a preferred embodiment, modulation of the activation states of abl or bcr-abl &agr;-kinase proteins comprises the step of contacting the kinase proteins with the novel compounds.
Novel compounds and methods of using those compounds for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, hyperproliferative diseases, cancer, and diseases characterized by hyper-vascularization are provided. In a preferred embodiment, modulation of the activation state of p38 kinase protein, abl kinase protein, bcr-abl kinase protein, braf kinase protein, VEGFR kinase protein, or PDGFR kinase protein comprises the step of contacting said kinase protein with the novel compounds.
