2-anilino-4-aminoalkyleneaminopyrimidines

摘要

The present invention relates to 2-arylamino-4-(aminoalkylene)aminopyrimidines inhibitors having the structure shown below: wherein R and R1 are as defined herein. The 2-arylamino-4 -(aminoalkylene)aminopyrimidines inhibit Protein Kinase C-alpha (PKC-α). The PKC-α inhibitors of the present invention are important for improving myocardial intracellular calcium cycling, resulting in improved myocardial contraction and relaxation performance and thereby slowing the progression of heart failure. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising said 2-arylamino-4 -(aminoalkylene)amino-pyrimidines and to methods for controlling, abating, or otherwise slowing the progression of heart failure.
