- Insights into the modular design of kinase inhibitors and application to Abl and Axl
-
Scaffold hopping is a common strategy for generating kinase inhibitors that bind to the DFG-out inactive conformation. Small structural differences in inhibitor scaffolds can have significant effects on potency and selectivity across the kinome, however, these effects are often not studied in detail. Herein, we outline a design strategy to generate an array of DFG-out conformation inhibitors with three different hinge-binders and two DFG-pocket groups. We studied inhibitor selectivity across a large segment of the kinome and elucidated binding preferences that can be used in scaffold hopping campaigns. Using these analyses, we identified two selective inhibitors that display low nanomolar potency against Axl or wild-type and clinically relevant mutants of Abl.

- KINASE INHIBITORS USEFUL FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROLIFERATIVE DISEASES
-
The present invention relates to novel kinase inhibitors and modulator compounds useful for the treatment of various diseases. More particularly, the invention is concerned with such compounds, kinase/compound adducts, methods of treating diseases, and methods of synthesis of the compounds. Preferrably, the compounds are useful for the modulation of kinase activity of Raf kinases and disease polymorphs thereof. Compounds of the present invention find utility in the treatment of mammalian cancers and especially human cancers including but not limited to malignant melanoma, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, non small cell lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Compounds of the present invention also find utility in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and retinopathies including diabetic retinal neuropathy and macular degeneration.

- ENZYME MODULATORS AND TREATMENTS
-
Novel compounds and methods of using those compounds for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, hyperproliferative diseases, cancer, and diseases characterized by hypervascularization are provided. In a preferred embodiment, modulation of the activation state of p38 kinase protein ab1 kinase protein, bcr-ab1 kinase protein, braf kinase protein, VEGFR kinase protein, or PDGFR kinase protein comprises the step of contacting said kinase protein with the novel compounds.
