PYRIDAZINE DERIVATIVES AS SMO INHIBITORS

摘要

The present invention relates generally to novel compounds relating to the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies relating to the Hedgehog pathway, including but not limited to tumor formation, cancer, neoplasia, and non-malignant hyperproliferative disorders. The present invention includes novel compounds, novel compositions, methods of their use and methods of their manufacture, where such compounds are generally pharmacologically useful as agents in therapies whose mechanism of action involve methods of inhibiting tumorigenesis, tumor growth and tumor survival using agents that inhibit the Hedgehog and Smo signaling pathway.
