Benefits of technology

[0020]Surprisingly, it has now been discovered that a class of 2-pyridyl substituted imidazoles function as potent and selective inhibitors of ALK5 and / or ALK4 and, therefore, have utility in the treatment and prevention of various disease states mediated by ALK5 and / or ALK4, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, hypertension-induced nephropathy, renal interstitial fibrosis, renal fibrosis resulting from complications of drug exposure, HIV-associated nephropathy, transplant nephropathy, liver fibrosis due to all etiologies, hepatic dysfunction attributable to infections, alcohol-induced hepatitis, disorders of the biliary tree, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung injury, adult respiratory distress syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary disease due to infectious or toxic agents, post-infarction cardiac fibrosis, congestive heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, vascular stenosis, hypertension-induced vascular remodeling, pulmonary arterial hypertension, coronary restenosis, peripheral restenosis, carotid restenosis, stent-induced restenosis, atherosclerosis, ocular scarring, corneal scarring, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, excessive or hypertrophic scar or keloid formation in the dermis occurring during wound healing resulting from trauma or surgical wounds, peritoneal and sub-dermal adhesion, scleroderma, fibrosclerosis, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, arthritis, osteoporosis, ulcers, impaired neurological function, male erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, Dupuytren's contracture, Alzheimer's disease, Raynaud's syndrome, fibrotic cancers, tumor metastasis growth, radiation-induced fibrosis, and thrombosis.

Problems solved by technology

Organ transplantation is complicated in many instances by chronic rejection and for some organs such as the kidney, it is the major forms of graft loss.

Description

[0001]This work was supported by National Research Foundation grant funded by the Korean government (M10870050001-08N7005-00110).TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to 2-pyridyl substituted imidazoles which are inhibitors of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) type I receptor (ALK5) and / or the activin type I receptor (ALK4), methods for their preparation, and their use in medicine, specifically in the treatment and prevention of a disease state mediated by these receptors.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]TGF-β denotes a family of proteins, TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3, which are pleiotropic modulators of cell proliferation and differentiation, wound healing, extracellular matrix production and immunosuppression. Other members of this superfamily include activins, inhibins, bone morphogenetic proteins, growth and differentiation factors and Müllerian inhibiting substance.[0004]TGF-β1 transduces signals through two highly conserved single transmembrane serin...
