Abstract
Compounds of formulae (I) and (II) which are novel inhibitors of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) and pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of formulae (I) and (II) are provided. A method for treating tumor diseases, including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), triple-negative breast cancer, PTEN-mutant tumors, and KRAS-driven tumors by administering pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of formulae (I) and (II) is also provided.
Claims18
A compound having formula (I)
- wherein:
- R1, R2, R4 and R5 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group, an alkyloxy group, an alkylthio group and a halo C1-C4 alkyl group;
- R3 is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, pyridil, pyridinil, phenoxy, pyridiloxy, pyridinoxy, thiophenoxy, thiophenyl, phenylthio, phenylcarboxamido, and a phenylaminocarbonyl group;
- R7, R8 and R9 are independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a halo C1-C4 alkyl group, a thio C1-C4 alkyl group, an amino C1-C4 alkyl group, a C1-C4 alkyl group and a hydroxy C1-C4 alkyl group;
- R6 is selected from a C1-C4 alkyloxy group, an aciloxy group, a hydroxyl group, a thiol group and a salt thereof;
- and
- X, Y and Z are independently selected from a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom, wherein if X or Y or Z is nitrogen, the other two are carbon atoms.
A compound having formula (II)
- wherein:
- R1, R2, R4 and R5 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group, an alkyloxy group, an alkylthio group and a halo C1-C4 alkyl group;
- R3 is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, pyridil, pyridinil, phenoxy, pyridiloxy, pyridinoxy, thiophenoxy, thiophenyl, phenylthio, phenylcarboxamido, and a phenylaminocarbonyl group, wherein if R3 is an aromatic group, a substituent independently selected from a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a trifluoromethyl group, and a trifluoromethoxy group can be present on the ring, and wherein if R3 is an aliphatic group, a substituent independently selected from an alkyl group, a trifluoromethyl group, and a trifluoromethoxy group can be present on the ring;
- R7, R8 and R9 are independently selected from a halo C1-C4 alkyl group, a thio C1-C4 alkyl group, an amino C1-C4 alkyl group, a C1-C4 alkyl group and a hydroxy C1-C4 alkyl group;
- R6 is selected from a C1-C4 alkyloxy group, an aciloxy group, a hydroxyl group, a thiol group and a salt thereof;
- and
- X, Y and Z are independently selected from a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom, wherein if X or Y or Z is nitrogen, the other two are carbon atoms.
