Abstract
Description
Background technique
[0001] The present invention relates to furo[3,2-c]pyridine and thieno[3,2-c]pyridine compounds, their salts, compositions and therapeutic uses, in particular to inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity in animals (including humans) compounds, thereby preventing and / or treating various diseases and conditions, such as cancer.
[0002] RON (Receptor Tyrosine Kinase) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is part of the MET proto-oncogene family. RON is activated through the combination of PI3K and MAPK pathways and its natural ligand MSP and signaling. RON can be deregulated in cancer through mechanisms such as receptor overexpression and / or constitutively active splice variants. Inhibition of RON has been shown to result in decreased proliferation, induce apoptosis, and affect cellular metabolism. Overexpression of RON is observed in a variety of human cancers and shows increased expression as the disease progresses.
