Description

METHODS OF TREATMENT

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a method of treating selected disease states in a mammal, including a human, by administration of a selected substituted thiazol compound and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

DYRK (dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase)/MNB (minibrain)/YAK kinases represent a family of dual-specificity kinases that autophosphorylate on tyrosine, serine and threonine, but appear to phosphorylate exogenous substrates only on serine or threonine residues [Lochhead et al., Biochem. J. (2003) 374, 381-391]. DYRK family members have been identified in all eukaryotes examined to date. Work in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Drosophila and mice implicate this family of kinases in such fundamental processes as the regulation of cell proliferation, cytokinesis, developmental responses (such as the transition from a growth to differentiation phase) and, in higher eukaryotes, proper brain development. Distantly related to MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and Cdk (cyclin-dependent protein kinase) [Becker, et al., Prog. Nucleic Acid Res. MoI. Biol., 1999, Vol. 62, pp. 1-17., Miyata, et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1999, Vol. 266, pp. 291-295, Widmann, et al., Physiol. Rev., 1999, Vol. 79, pp. 143-180, and Himpel, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2000, Vol. 275, pp. 2431-2438.], the DYRK family is characterized by the presence of several distinct amino-acid sequences in the kinase domain, including an SSC motif following subdomain VII, conserved sequences HCDLKPEN and YXYIQSRFYR(S/A)PE in subdomains Vl and VIII respectively, and a YXY motif in the kinase-domain-activation loop between subdomains VII and VIII, and by a DYRK homology (DH) box immediately preceding the kinase domain [Becker, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1998, Vol. 273, pp. 25893-25902]. All DYRK proteins appear to have extended N- and/or C-terminal regions that display little homology to other proteins except closely related family members.

Several recent International Patent Publications refer to selected substituted thiazol compounds as inhibitors of hYAK3 (otherwise reported as, and hereinafter referred to as DYRK3) as having utility in treating diseases of the erythroid and hematopoietic systems, particularly anemias.

Other related DYRK family members include DYRKI a, DYRKI b, DYRK2 (otherwise reported as hYAK1 ), and DYRK4 (otherwise reported as hYAK2).

Inhibition of DYRKIa is described in Kim et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 16 (2006) 3772-3776, Woods et al. Biochem. J. (2001) 355, 609-615 (printed in GB), Ann et al. Neurobiology of Disease 22 (2006) 463-472 and Altafaj et al. Human Molecular Genetics, 2001, Vo1 10, No. 18, 1915-1923. Compounds that inhibit DYRKI a are considered useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, mental retardation, memory defects, and memory loss. Compounds that inhibit DYRKIa are also considered to have utility in treating diabetes.

Inhibition of DYRKI b is described in Deng et al. Cancer Res 2006; 66(8) 4149-4158. Compounds that inhibit DYRKI b are considered useful in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Compounds that inhibit DYRK2 are considered useful in the treatment of bone resorption disease and osteoporosis.

Compounds that inhibit DYRK3 are considered useful in the treatment of sickle cell anemia and chronic kidney disease.

The present invention concerns selected substituted thiazol compounds that are know to inhibit DYRK3, and their novel use in the treatment of selected disease states.
