The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain biarylamine compounds (referred to herein as BAA compounds), and especially certain pyrazin-2-yl-pyridin-2-yl-amine and pyrazine-2-yl-pyrimidin-4-yl-amine compounds, which, inter alia, inhibit Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHK1) kinase function. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit CHK1 kinase function, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by CHK1, that are ameliorated by the inhibition of CHK1 kinase function, etc., including proliferative conditions such as cancer, etc., optionally in combination with another agent, for example, (a) a DNA topoisomerase I or II inhibitor; (b) a DNA damaging agent; (c) an antimetabolite or TS inhibitor; (d) a microtubule targeted agent; and (e) ionising radiation.
本发明涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地涉及某些双芳基胺化合物(以下称为
BAA化合物),尤其是某些
吡嗪-2-基
吡啶-2-基胺和
吡嗪-2-基
嘧啶-4-基胺化合物,它们可以抑制检查点激酶1(CHK1)激酶的功能。本发明还涉及包含这些化合物的药物组合物,以及在体内外使用这些化合物和组合物来抑制CHK1激酶的功能,并在治疗由CHK1介导的疾病和病况,通过抑制CHK1激酶的功能得到改善的疾病和病况,包括增殖性疾病如癌症等,可选择与另一种药物联合使用,例如(a)
DNA拓扑异构酶I或II
抑制剂;(b)DNA损伤剂;(c)抗代谢物或
TS抑制剂;(d)微管靶向药物;和(e)电离辐射。
