6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 2-(3-Methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 6-Diethylamino-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
9. A method for treating an Aurora kinase-mediated disorder in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound,
wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of
4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester,
6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide,
4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester, and
2-(3-Methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide, or
a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
wherein the Aurora kinase-mediated disorder is a cancer;
wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, brain cancer, bone cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, renal cancer, pancreatic cancer, sarcoma, leukemia, and lymphoma.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the step of administering to a subject an additional therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of: antimetabolites, protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and antibodies.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is 4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
