The present invention is directed to substituted 4H-chromenes, 2H-chromenes, chromans and analogs thereof, represented by the general Formula (I) wherein R5, A, B, X, Y, Z and dotted lines are defined herein. The present invention also relates to the discovery that compounds having Formula (I) are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis of this invention can be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.
本发明涉及一种以一般式(I)表示的取代的4H-色酮、2H-色酮、色烷及其类似物,其中R5、A、B、X、Y、Z和虚线如此定义。本发明还涉及发现具有公式(I)的化合物是caspase的激活剂和诱导凋亡剂。因此,本发明的caspase激活剂和诱导凋亡剂可用于在各种临床情况下诱导细胞死亡,其中不受控制的异常细胞的生长和扩散发生。
