The invention is directed to physiologically active compounds of general formula (I):—
and compositions containing such compounds; and their prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates of such compounds and their prodrugs, as well as to novel compounds within the scope of formula (I). Such compounds and compositions have valuable pharmaceutical properties, in particular the ability to inhibit kinases.
The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The Formula (I) compounds inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors such as VEGFR-2, FGFR-1 and IGFR-1, thereby making them useful as anti-cancer agents. The formula (I) compounds are also useful for the treatment of other diseases associated with signal transduction pathways operating through growth factor receptors.
