, W, and X shown in Formula I are defined herein. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable form of such compounds, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or diluents. The invention further comprises methods of treating patients suffering from certain diseases and disorders responsive to EphB4 kinase modulation, which comprise administering to such patients an amount of a compound of Formula I effective to reduce signs or symptoms of the disease or disorder. These diseases include cancer, including of breast neoplasma, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Thus methods of treatment include administering a sufficient amount of a compound or salt of the invention to decrease the symptoms or slow the progression of these diseases or disorders. The invention also encompasses methods of treating other animals, including livestock and domesticated companion animals, suffering from an disease or disorder responsive to EphB4 modulation. Methods of treatment include administering a compound of Formula I as a single active agent or administering a compound of Formula I in combination with one or more other therapeutic agent.
The invention also includes a method for determining the presence of EphB
4
kinase in a sample, comprising contacting the sample with a compound of Formula I, or form thereof, and the detecting the amount of compound or form bound to EphB
4
kinase, and therefrom determining the presence or absence of EphB
4
kinase in the sample.
本发明涉及公式I的化合物及其所有药学上可接受的形式。公式I中所示的变量R1、R2、R3、Z1、Z2、W和X在此定义。该发明还提供含有公式I的一个或多个化合物或其药学上可接受的形式以及一个或多个药学上可接受的载体、辅料或稀释剂的制剂。该发明还包括治疗患有对EphB4激酶调节有反应的某些疾病和疾病的患者的方法,其中包括向这些患者施用公式I的化合物的有效量,以减少疾病或疾病的症状。这些疾病包括癌症,包括乳腺肿瘤、子宫内膜癌、结肠癌和颈部鳞状细胞癌。因此,治疗方法包括施用足够量的公式I的化合物或盐以减轻这些疾病或疾病的症状或减缓其进展。该发明还包括治疗其他动物,包括家畜和驯养伴侣动物,患有对EphB4调节有反应的疾病或疾病的方法。治疗方法包括将公式I的化合物作为单一活性药物施用或将公式I的化合物与一个或多个其他治疗剂联合施用。该发明还包括一种确定样品中EphB4激酶存在的方法,包括将样品与公式I的化合物或其形式接触,并检测与EphB4激酶结合的化合物或形式的数量,从而确定样品中EphB4激酶的存在或不存在。
