The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain bicyclylaryl-aryl-amines compounds of the following formula (referred to herein as BCAA compounds), which, inter alia, inhibit Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHK1) kinase function. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit CHK1 kinase function, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by CHK1, that are ameliorated by the inhibition of CHK1 kinase function, etc., including proliferative conditions such as cancer, etc., optionally in combination with another agent, for example, (a) a DNA topoisomerase I or II inhibitor; (b) a DNA damaging agent; (c) an antimetabolite or TS inhibitor; (d) a microtubule targeted agent; and (e) ionising radiation:
本发明涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地涉及以下式子(称为B
CAA化合物)的某些双环芳基-芳胺化合物,其抑制检查点激酶1(CHK1)激酶功能。本发明还涉及包含这些化合物的制药组合物,以及使用这些化合物和组合物在体内外抑制CHK1激酶功能,以及治疗由CHK1介导的疾病和病症,通过抑制CHK1激酶功能来改善这些病症,包括增殖性疾病如癌症等,可选择与另一种药物联合使用,例如(a)
DNA拓扑异构酶I或II
抑制剂;(b)DNA损伤剂;(c)抗代谢物或
TS抑制剂;(d)微管靶向药物;以及(e)电离辐射。
