The present invention provides 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives being an A3 adenosine receptor modulator (A3RM), for use in the treatment of a condition which is treatable by adenosine, an A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) agonist or an A3 adenosine receptor antagonist. In one embodiment, the 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives are for use in the treatment of a condition treatable by an adenosine or an A3AR agonist, treatment being achieved by enhancing activity of a protein (by binding of said 2,4 disubstituted quinoline derivative to the A3AR). Some conditions treatable by the 2,4 disubstituted quinoline derivative when used for enhancing activity include, malignancy, an immuno-compromised affliction, high intraocular pressure or a condition associated with high intraocular pressure. The invention also provides method for treatment of a subject having a condition treatable by adenosine, an A3AR agonist or an A3AR antagonist making use of the defined 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivative (s), and pharmaceutical composition and comprising said derivative and a kit comprising the derivative and instructions for use thereof. One specific 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivative comprises N-{2-[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)amino]quinolin-4-yl}cyclohexanecarboxamide In one embodiment, the 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives in accordance with the invention are formulated in a form suitable for oral administration. |
