VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 inhibitory anthranilamide pyridinamides, their
production and use as pharmaceutical agents for treating diseases that
are triggered by persistent angiogenesis, as well as intermediate
products for the production of the compounds are described. The compounds
according to the invention can be used as or in the case of tumor or
metastasis growth, psoriasis, Kaposi's sarcoma, restenosis, such as,
e.g., stent-induced restenosis, endometriosis, Crohn's disease, Hodgkin's
disease, leukemia; arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemangioma,
angiofibroma; eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular
glaucoma; renal diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic
nephropathy, malignant nephrosclerosis, thrombic microangiopathic
syndrome, transplant rejections and glomerulopathy; fibrotic diseases,
such as cirrhosis of the liver, mesangial cell proliferative diseases,
arteriosclerosis, injuries to nerve tissue, and inhibition of the
reocclusion of vessels after balloon catheter treatment, in vascular
prosthetics or after mechanical devices are used to keep vessels open,
such as, e.g., stents, as immunosuppressive agents, as a support in
scar-free healing, senile keratosis and contact dermatitis. The compounds
according to the invention can also be used as VEGFR-3 inhibitors in the
case of lymphangiogenesis.
