Substituted cyanoanthranilamide derivatives, their production and use as
pharmaceutical agents for treating diseases that are triggered by
persistent angiogenesis are described. The compounds according to the
invention can be used as or in the case of 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.
