• the present application relates to novel substituted 1-[3-(heterocyclyl)benzyl]-1H-pyrazole derivatives, to processes for preparation thereof, to use thereof for treatment and/or prevention of diseases and to use thereof for production of medicaments for treatment and/or prevention of diseases, more particularly for treatment and/or prevention of hyperproliferative and angiogenic diseases and those diseases which arise from metabolic adaptation to hypoxic states.
• Such treatments can be effected in the form of monotherapy or else in combination with other medicaments or further therapeutic measures.
• Cancers are the consequence of uncontrolled cell growth of a wide variety of different tissues. In many cases the new cells penetrate into existing tissue (invasive growth), or they metastasize into remote organs. Cancers occur in a wide variety of different organs and often progress in a manner specific to the tissue.
• the term “cancer” as a generic term therefore describes a large group of defined diseases of different organs, tissue and cell types.
• tumours at early stages can be removed by surgical and radiotherapy measures. Metastasized tumours can generally only be treated palliatively by chemotherapeutics. The aim here is to achieve the optimum combination of an improvement in the quality of life and prolonging of life.
• Chemotherapies are often composed of combinations of cytotoxic medicaments.
• the majority of these substances have bonding to tubulin as their mechanism of action, or they are compounds which interact with the formation and processing of nucleic acids.
• these also include enzyme inhibitors which interfere with epigenetic DNA modification or cell cycle progression (e.g. histone deacetylase inhibitors, aurora kinase inhibitors). Since such therapies are toxic, there has recently been an increasing focus on targeted therapies in which specific processes in the cell are blocked without a high level of toxic stress. These especially include inhibitors of kinases which inhibit the phosphorylation of receptors and signal transmission molecules.

• the inventive compounds act as modulators of the HIF regulation pathway and are therefore also suitable for treatment of diseases associated with a harmful expression of the HIF transcription factor. This applies especially to the transcription factors HIF-1 ⁇ and HIF-2 ⁇ .
• harmful expression of HIF here means abnormal physiological presence of HIF protein. This can be caused by excessive synthesis of the protein (mRNA- or translation-related), by reduced degradation or by inadequate counter-regulation in the functioning of the transcription factor.
• HIF-1 ⁇ and HIF-2 ⁇ regulate more than 100 genes. This applies to proteins which play a role in angiogenesis and are therefore directly relevant to tumours, and also those which influence glucose, amino acid and lipid metabolism, and cell migration, metastasis and DNA repair, or improve the survival of tumour cells by suppressing apoptosis. Others act more indirectly via inhibition of the immune reaction and upregulation of angiogenic factors in inflammation cells. HIF also plays an important role in stem cells, and here especially tumour stem cells, which are reported to have elevated HIF levels. The inhibition of the HIF regulation pathway by the compounds of the present invention thus also has a therapeutic influence on tumour stem cells, which do not have a high proliferation rate and therefore are affected only inadequately by cytotoxic substances (cf. Semenza, 2007; Weidemann and Johnson, 2008).
• HIF inhibitors such as the compounds of the present invention
• HIF inhibitors are therapeutically beneficial in those contexts in which, for example, additional damage arises from adaptation of cells to hypoxic situations, since damaged cells can cause further damage if they do not function as intended.
• One example of this is the formation of epileptic foci in partly destroyed tissue following strokes.
• cardiovascular diseases if ischaemic processes occur in the heart or in the brain as a consequence of thromboembolic events, inflammations, wounds, intoxications or other causes.
• Inhibition of the HIF regulation pathway can therefore also be beneficial in the event of diseases such as heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, apnoea-induced hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, transplant ischaemia, reperfusion damage, stroke and macular degeneration, and also for recovery of nerve function after traumatic damage or severance.
• diseases such as heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, apnoea-induced hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, transplant ischaemia, reperfusion damage, stroke and macular degeneration, and also for recovery of nerve function after traumatic damage or severance.

• inflammatory joint diseases such as various forms of arthritis

These include diabetic retinopathy, ischaemic retinal vein occlusion and retinopathy in premature babies (cf. Aiello et al., 1994; Peer et al., 1995), age-related macular degeneration (AMD; cf. Lopez et al., 1996), neovascular glaucoma, psoriasis, retrolental fibroplasia, angiofibroma, inflammation, rheumatic arthritis (RA), restenosis, in-stent restenosis, and restenosis following vessel implantation.

• Increased blood supply is additionally associated with cancerous, neoplastic tissue and leads here to accelerated tumour growth.
• the growth of new blood and lymph vessels facilitates the formation of metastases and hence the spread of the tumour.
• New lymph and blood vessels are also harmful to allografts in immunoprivileged tissues, such as the eye, which, for example, increases susceptibility to rejection reactions.
• Compounds of the present invention can therefore also be used for therapy of one of the aforementioned diseases, for example by inhibition of the growth of or a reduction in the number of blood vessels. This can be achieved via inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation or other mechanisms for preventing or attenuating the formation of vessels and via a reduction of neoplastic cells by apoptosis.
• HIF-1 ⁇ becomes enriched in the adipose tissue, resulting in an HIF-mediated shift in the catabolism in the direction of glycolysis, such that an increased amount of glucose as an energy carrier is consumed. This leads at the same time to reduced lipid metabolism and hence to storage of lipids in the tissue.
• inventive substances are therefore also suitable for treatment of HIF-1 ⁇ -mediated enrichment of lipids in the tissue, especially in the case of obesity.
• the present invention further provides for the use of the inventive compounds for treatment and/or prevention of disorders, especially the aforementioned disorders.
