CA3118093A1 — Small molecule inhibitors of dyrk1/clk and uses thereof

USPTO Abstract

This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a 6,5-heterocyclic structure (e.g., compounds having a imidazopyridine, imidazopyrimidine, imidazopyrazine, imidazopyridazine, imidazotriazine, benzoimidazole, benzotriazole, benzoisoxazole, purine, indazole, triazolotriazine, triazolopyridazine, triazolopyrimidine, triazolopyrazine, triazolotetrazine, triazolopyridine, pyrazolopyrazine, pyrazolopyrimidine, pyrazolopyridazine, pyrazolotriazine, pyrazolopyridine, isoxazolopyrazine, isoxazolopyrimidine, isoxazolopyrdiazine, isoxazolotriazine, or isoxalopyridine structure) which function as inhibitors of DYRK1A, DYRK1B, and Clk-1, and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, diabetes, glioblastoma, autoimmune diseases, cancer (e.g., glioblastoma, prostate cancer), inflammatory disorders (e.g., airway inflammation), and other diseases.
