ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to 2-substituted 4-heteroaryl-pyrimidines, their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use in the treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer, leukemia, psoriasis and the like.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Certain 4,5,6-substituted-N-(substituted-phenyl)-2-pyrimidineamines having anti-asthmatic properties are disclosed in EP-A-233,461. Certain 4-heteroaryl-N-(3-substituted-phenyl)-2-pyridineamines possessing anti-proliferative properties and inhibiting protein kinases C, epidermal growth factor receptor-associated tyrosine protein kinase (EGF-R-TPK), as well as CDK1/cyclin B have been disclosed in WO95/09847 wherein the exemplified heteroaryl are pyridyl and indolyl.
J. Med. Chem. (1993) Vol. 36, pages 2716-2725, Paul, R. et al: discloses a further class of phenyl amino-pyrimidines possessing anti-inflammatory activity. These compounds include mono-substituted 2-thienyl groups at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring and dimethyl-3-furyl groups at this position.
It is an aim of the present invention to provide a further class of N-phenyl-2-pyrimidine anti-proliferative compounds. The compounds of the present invention have surprisingly been found to not to be inhibitors of protein kinase C. As discussed hereinafter, their activity may be demonstrated by inhibition of cell proliferation in cell lines and/or inhibition of cyclin dependent kinase enzymes. Throughout the specification, the term “thienyl” is used interchangeably with “thiophene”.
