This invention relates to 2-pyridyl substituted diarylimidazoles which are inhibitors of the transforming growth factor, (“TGF”)-&bgr; signaling pathway, in particular, the phosphorylation of smad2 or smad3 by the type I or activin-like kinase (“ALK”)-5 receptor, methods for their preparation and their use in medicine.
本发明涉及2-
吡啶基取代的二芳基
咪唑,它们是转化生长因子(“TGF”)-β信号通路的
抑制剂,特别是通过I型或类活素激酶(“ALK”)-5受体对smad2或smad3的
磷酸化,它们的制备方法及其在医学上的应用。
