The invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds and to the use thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions containing said chemical compounds as an
active ingredient and to the use thereof for producing medicinal preparations for the
human being and warm-blood animals for treating diseases caused by the aberrant activity of an
Hedgehog (Hh)-
signal system, in particular oncological diseases. The invention also relates to the use of the above-mentioned compounds in the form of ‘molecular pharmacological tools’ for examining (
in vitro and
in vivo) the biochemical features of the Hh-
signal system, in particular, the interaction of Hh
protein and transmembrane proteins, namely,
suppressor Patched (Ptc) and protooncogenic proteins. The eight groups of the claimed compounds comprise the derivatives of 2,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]
pyridazine-7-one and 1,4-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-b][1,4]
thiazine-5-one; N-acidylated 4-imidazo[1,2-a]
pyrimidine-2-il-anilines; ([4H-thino[3,2-b]pyrrol-5-il) carbonyl]
piperidine-4-
carbonic acid amides; 2-(4carbomoilpyperidine-1-il)-
isonicotinic acid amides; N-sylphonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-6-
carbonic acid amides; and
pyridine 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]N-acidylated 3-
azole derivatives.
