- Substituted N'-(arylcarbonyl)-benzhydrazides, N'-(arylcarbonyl)-benzylidene-hydrazides and analogs as activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis and the use thereof
-
The present invention is directed to substituted N′-(arylcarbonyl)-benzhydrazides, N′-(arylcarbonyl)-benzylidene-hydrazides and analogs thereof, represented by the Formulae I and II: wherein Ar1, Ar2, and R1-R2 are defined herein. The present invention also relates to the discovery that compounds having Formulae I and II are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis of this invention may be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.

- Process for producing trifluoromethylbenzylamines
-
The present invention relates to a process for producing a trifluoromethylbenzylamine represented by the general formula (1). This process includes the step of reducing an oxime represented by the general formula (2), where R1represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, or trifluoromethyl group, where R1is defined as above, and R2represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aralkyl group. With this process, the trifluoromethylbenzylamine can be produced with high selectivity.
