Disclosed are N-alkyl-N-aryl-thienopyrimidin-4-amines and analogs thereof, represented by the Formulae I-II:
wherein Ar, R
1
-R
4
and R
10
are defined herein. The present invention relates to the discovery that compounds having Formulae I-II are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis 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.
本发明涉及公开的N-烷基-N-芳基
噻唑嘧啶-4-胺及其类似物,其由式I-II表示:其中Ar、R1-R4和R10如本文所定义。本发明关于发现具有式I-II的化合物是caspase的激活剂和凋亡诱导剂。因此,本发明的caspase激活剂和凋亡诱导剂可用于在多种临床情况下诱导
细胞死亡,其中发生异常细胞的不受控制的生长和扩散。
