The present invention relates to fused bicyclic pyrimidine containing zinc- binding moiety based derivatives that have unique properties as protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors and their use in the treatment of PTK related diseases and disorders such as cancer. The said derivatives may further act as HDAC inhibitors.

The present invention relates to the compositions, methods, and applications of a novel approach to selective inhibition of several cellular or molecular targets with a single small molecule. More specifically, the present invention relates to multi-functional small molecules wherein one functionality is capable of inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDAC) and the other functionality is capable of inhibiting a different cellular or molecular pathway involved in aberrant cell proliferation, differentiation or survival.

There are described 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives of the formula I in which the substituents are as defined in claim 1. These compounds inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and c-erbB2 kinase and can be used as anti-tumor agents.

Date Jul. 31, 1997There are described compounds of formula I wherein R1 and R2 are as defined in the description, Q is heterocyclyl boned via a ring nitrogen atom and having the formula IA wherein R3 and R4 and m and n are as defined in the description, the ring marked A is a heterocyclyl having 5 to 9 ring atoms and having at least one saturated bond, it being possible for a further ring hetero atom selected from O and S to be present in addition to the bonding nitrogen atom, the ring system marked B is a free or benzo-, thieno-, furo-, pyrrolo- or dihydropyrrolo-fused carbocyclic ring having from 5 to 9 carbon atoms that is fused to the ring A and may be unsaturated, partially saturated or fully saturated, and the bond marked by a parallel dotted line between the ring systems marked A and B is either a single bond or a double bond, and a salt thereof where at least one salt-forming group is present. The compounds are inhibitors of protein kinases and have, for example, antitumour activity.

Date Jan. 23, 1997Described are 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives of formula I wherein the symbols are as defined in claim 1. Those compounds inhibit tyrosine protein kinase and can be used in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, for example tumour diseases.
