Cdk7 inhibitors for treating cancer and other diseases
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11918592B2) discloses a compound of Formula I and its various derivatives, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, or isotopic forms. The compound is further specified by the presence of certain substituents at specific positions, such as -OH, -CN, -C(O)NH2, -chloro, or -CF3. Additionally, the patent claims cover a pharmaceutical composition containing the disclosed compound and a method for treating diseases associated with aberrant activity of CDK7 by administering the compound or its derivatives to patients. The diseases targeted include proliferative diseases, infectious diseases, and those caused by expanded repeats of simple nucleotide tracts, with specific examples like cancer, viral infections, Huntington's Disease, myotonic dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mentioned.
Moreover, the patent extends to methods involving the administration of a second agent along with the disclosed compound, where the second agent could be an anti-proliferative agent, an anti-cancer agent, an immunosuppressant, or a pain-relieving agent. The patent also encompasses a broader range of compounds beyond Formula I, with similar therapeutic applications for treating diseases associated with CDK7 activity. The diseases targeted include various types of cancers, benign neoplasms, pathologic angiogenesis, and fibrotic diseases, with specific examples provided for different cancer types like blood cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, neuroblastoma, and ovarian cancer. The patent's comprehensive coverage of compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and treatment methods highlights its potential significance in the development of therapies for a wide range of diseases linked to CDK7 dysregulation.
