Use of phthalazine derivatives
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to the use of phthalazine derivatives as inhibitors of the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase or PARP (EC 2.4.2.30), to the use as inhibitors of PARP-homologous enzymes and, in particular, these phthalazine derivatives also show a selective inhibition of PARP-homologous enzymes.

A 2 is NR 2 , NR 2 —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-, O or S and
R 2 is hydrogen or C 1 -C 6 -alkyl and
A 3 is an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring with, in each case, 5 or 6 ring atoms and up to 3 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S,
which may also be substituted by R 4 and one or two R 3 , where R 3 can be hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine, branched and unbranched C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, OH, nitro, CF 3 , CN, NR 11 R 12 , SO 2 NR 11 R 12 , SO 2 —C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, S—C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, O-Ph, O—CF 3 , NH—CO—R 13 , O—C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, where R 11 and R 12 are, independently of one another, hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, and R 13 can be hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, phenyl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or phenyl,
R 4 is hydrogen, (X) 0,1 —C 1 -C 4 -alkyl-NR 41 R 42 , where X═O, S and NR 43 or R 41 and R 42 can be independently of one another, hydrogen, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, phenyl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or a 3 to 7-membered cyclic amine and R 43 can be hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, and its tautomeric forms, and its prodrugs.
