| abstract |
This invention is directed to aminothiazole compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from: C¿1-6?-alkyl; C1-6-alkenyl; C1-6-alkynyl; C1-6-alkoxyl; C1-6-alcohol; carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, cycloalkyl; carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, aryl; carbonyl; ether; (C1-6-alkyl)-carbonyl; (C1-6-alkyl)-aryl; (C1-6-alkyl)-cycloalkyl; (C1-6-alkyl)-(C1-6-alkoxyl); aryl-(C1-6-alkoxyl); thioether; thiol; and sulfonyl; wherein when R?1¿ is substituted, each substituent independently is a halogen; haloalkyl; C¿1-6?-alkyl; C1-6-alkenyl; C1-6-alkynyl; hydroxyl; C1-6-alkoxyl; amino; nitro; thiol; thioether; imine; cyano; amido; phosphonato; phosphine; carboxyl; thiocarbonyl; sulfonyl; sulfonamide; ketone; aldehyde; ester; oxygen; carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, cycloalkyl; or carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, aryl; and R?2 ¿is a carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, ring structure having a substituent at the position adjacent to the point of attachment, which ring structure is optionally further substituted, where each substituent of R2 independently is a halogen; haloalkyl; C¿1-6?-alkyl; C1-6-alkenyl; C1-6-alkynyl; hydroxyl; C1-6-alkoxyl; amino; nitro; thiol; thioether; imine; cyano; amido; phosphonato; phosphine; carboxyl; thiocarbonyl; sulfonyl; sulfonamide; ketone; aldehyde; ester; oxygen; carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, cycloalkyl; or carbocyclic or heterocyclic, monocyclic or fused or non-fused polycyclic, aryl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (I), or a prodrug or pharmaceutically active metabolite of a compound of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), such as CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to methods of treating malignancies and other disorders by administering effective amounts of such compounds. |
