Chemical compounds having structural formula (I) and physiologically acceptable salts thereof, are inhibitors of serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase activity. Several of the tyrosine kinases, whose activity is inhibited by these chemical compounds, are involved in angiogenic processes. Thus, these chemical compounds can ameliorate disease states where angiogenesis or endothelial cell hyperproliferation is a factor. These compounds can be used to treat cancer and hyperproliferative disorders.

The present invention provides certain non-symmetric tripyrranes; that is, tripyrranes that do not contain a mirror plane of symmetry perpendicular to the plane containing the tripyrrane. Further, the invention includes texaphyrin compounds and sapphyrin compounds, as well as other polypyrrolic macrocycles, prepared using tripyrranes of Formula (I) as a precursor. These macrocycles are characterized by tripyrrolic portion of the macrocyclic ring having substituents that cause the heterocycle to lack a plane of symmetric perpendicular to the plane of the macrocycle.
