The present invention is directed to substituted nicotinamides and analogs thereof, represented by Formula (V) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein: Ar' and Ar are independently optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl, provided that the ring structure of said optionally substituted heteroaryl comprises not more than two nitrogen atoms; and R11 is hydrogen; or alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, each of which is optionally substituted. The present invention also relates to the discovery that compounds having Formula (V) are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the compounds of this invention may be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.
本发明涉及代替烟酰胺和其类似物,由式(V)或其药学上可接受的盐或前药所表示,其中:Ar'和Ar分别是可选取的取代芳基或可选取的取代杂环芳基,但所述可选取的杂环芳基的环结构不包括超过两个氮原子;R11是氢;或是可选取的烷基、环烷基、芳基或杂环芳基,每个都可以被取代。本发明还涉及到发现具有式(V)的化合物是caspase的激活剂和凋亡诱导剂。因此,本发明的化合物可用于在各种临床情况下诱导细胞死亡,其中发生异常细胞的无控制生长和扩散。
