The present invention relates to a novel class of benzothiophene amide derivatives. The hydroxamic acid compounds can be used to treat cancer. The benzothiophene amide compounds can also inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the hydroxamic acid derivatives and safe dosing regimens of these pharmaceutical compositions, which are easy to follow, and which result in a therapeutically effective amount of the hydroxamic acid derivatives in vivo.
本发明涉及一类新型的苯并噻吩酰胺衍生物。这些羟肟酸化合物可用于治疗癌症。苯并噻吩酰胺化合物还可以抑制组蛋白去乙酰化酶,并适用于选择性诱导终末分化,阻止肿瘤细胞的生长和/或凋亡,从而抑制这些细胞的增殖。因此,本发明的化合物可用于治疗具有肿瘤细胞增殖特征的患者。该发明的化合物也可用于预防和治疗TRX介导的疾病,如自身免疫性、过敏性和炎症性疾病,以及中枢神经系统(CNS)疾病的预防和/或治疗,如神经退行性疾病。本发明还提供了包含羟肟酸衍生物的药物组合物和这些药物组合物的安全剂量方案,易于遵循,并在体内产生治疗有效量的羟肟酸衍生物。
