Indazole compounds that modulate and/or inhibit cell proliferation, such
as the activity of protein kinases are described. These compounds and
pharmaceutical compositions containing them are capable of mediating,
e.g., kinases-dependent diseases to modulate and/or inhibit unwanted cell
proliferation. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or
prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such
compounds, and to methods of treating cancer as well as other disease
states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and/or cellular
proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma,
rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts
of such compounds.
