Kinesin inhibitors as cancer therapeutics

摘要

The invention provides novel compounds having a substituted imidazole ring, and methods of using such compounds for the treatment of certain disorders such as hematological cancers and solid tumors. The compounds of the invention are tri-substituted imidazole derivatives that inhibit KSP. These compounds are also useful for the treatment of drug resistant tumors, such as solid tumors that express elevated levels of P-glycoprotein.
