Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a compound of formula (Ia), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, The present disclosure further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula (Ia) and methods of treating a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) by administering a compound of formula (Ia).

Claims (79)

1 . A compound of formula (Id), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof,

wherein:

the group X—Y is —NHSO 2 — or —SO 2 NH—;

R 1 is H or alkyl;

R 2 is selected from COOH and a tetrazolyl group;

R 3 is selected from H, Cl and alkyl;

R 4 is selected from H, Cl and F;

R 5 is selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, SO 2 -alkyl, Cl, alkoxy, OH, CN, hydroxyalkyl, alkylthio, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl and haloalkoxy;

R 6 is H;

R 7 is CN, SO 2 -alkyl, SO 2 NR 13 R 14 or a heteroaryl group, wherein said heteroaryl group is optionally substituted by one or more substituents selected from alkyl, halo, alkoxy, CN, haloalkyl and OH;

R 9 is H, C 1 -C 3 -alkyl or halo;

R 10 and R 11 , together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, form a 4, 5, 6 or 7-membered monocyclic heterocycloalkyl group, wherein one or two carbons in the monocyclic heterocycloalkyl group are optionally replaced by a group selected from O, NH, S and CO, and said monocyclic heterocycloalkyl group is optionally substituted by one or more groups selected from alkyl, CN, cycloalkyl, OH, alkoxy, halo, haloalkyl and heteroaryl, wherein said heteroaryl group is in turn optionally further substituted with one or more groups selected from halo and alkyl; or
