| 摘要 |
The present invention discloses a method of treating an individual or animal with diabetes and/or obesity. The method comprises administering to the individual or animal a therapeutically effective amount of a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Preferably, the preventative and therapeutic methods of the present invention involve administering-to a mammal in need thereof-a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of a c-Src-family protein tyrosine kinase. The invention pertains to pharmaceutical compositions containing an inhibitor of a c-Src-family protein tyrosine kinase or an analog or metabolite thereof, or an inhibitor of another protein tyrosine kinase, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Purines and pyrimidines and other molecules useful in the treatment of diabetes and obesity are provided herein, in particular, pyrazolopyrimidines, cyanoquinolines, phenylaminopyrimidines, anilinoquinazolines and related compounds. The invention also provides cellular targets and assay compositions useful for the identification of additional novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of these disorders.
