摘要

A compound of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein: R1 is H, Cl, F, CH3 or CF3; R2 is H, C1-C6 alkyl or optionally substituted heteroaryl or optionally substituted aryl; and R3 is (Alk)n-Rn-(Alk)n-Rn-(Alk)n-X. The compounds are useful as tetrahydroisoquinoline (THQ) compounds, which are suitable for use as PDK inhibitors, for example for inhibition of cancer cell proliferation.
