This invention relates to the discovery of novel compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which possess HDAC inhibitory activity. In particular, the compounds of the invention demonstrate selectivity towards Class I HDAC enzymes, and are accordingly expected to be useful for their anti-proliferative activity and in methods of treatment of the human or animal body, for example in preventing or inhibiting tumour growth and metastasis in cancers. The invention also relates to processes for the manufacture of the compounds defined herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the production of an anti-proliferative effect in a warm-blooded animal such as man.
这项发明涉及发现具有H
DAC抑制活性的新化合物或其药用可接受的盐,特别是该发明的化合物表现出对I类H
DAC酶的选择性,并因此预计对其抗增殖活性和在人体或动物体内治疗方法中具有用处,例如在预防或抑制癌症中的肿瘤生长和转移方面。该发明还涉及用于制造此处定义的化合物或其药用可接受的盐的方法,包含它们的药物组合物以及它们在制造用于在温血动物(如人类)中产生抗增殖效果的药物中的用途。
