Provided is a compound of formula (I) in which Ar, R, U, V, W, X, and p are as described herein. Also provided are methods of using a compound of formula (I), including a method of treating cancer, a method of treating a patient with cancer cells resistant to an anti-cancer agent, and a method of inhibiting lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and/or lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) activity in a cell.

Small molecule inhibitors of lactate dehydrogenase and methods of use thereof

Provided is a compound of formula (I), in which Ar, R, U, V, W, X, and p are as described herein. Also provided are methods of using a compound of formula (I), including a method of treating cancer, a method of treating a patient with cancer cells resistant to an anti-cancer agent, and a method of inhibiting lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and/or lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) activity in a cell.

The present invention provides compounds of Formula (II), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, polymorphs, co-crystals, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, pro-drugs, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods and kits involving the compounds of Formula (I), (II) or (III) for treating diseases associated with the over-expression of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) in a subject, such as proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers (e.g., breast cancer, ER negative breast cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer), benign neoplasms, diseases associated with angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases). Treatment of a subject with a proliferative disease using a compound or composition of the invention may inhibit the activity of PHGDH or inhibit the serine biosynthetic pathway, or both.

Inhibitors of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) and uses thereof

The disclosure provides a compound of the formula (II) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The variables, e.g. n, R, R, R, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. These compounds act as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors and are useful for treating cancer and fibrosis. The compounds may be particularly useful for treating forms of cancer in which a metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis has occurred. The disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of this formula and method for treating patients having cancer, fibrosis, or other conditions in which a metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis has occurred. 

1 H-pyrazol-1-yl-thiazoles as inhibitors of lactate dehydrogenase and methods of use thereof

A compound of Formula II or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein CyN is a cyclic amine group bound via a nitrogen atom; X is C or N; Rand Rare each independently a halogen, CN, CF, CHF, CHF, a C-C10alkyl group, a C1-Calkoxy group, a di(C-Calkyl)amino; m and n are each independently 1, 2, or 3, and represents either a single bond or a double bond, wherein the racemic mixture of 3-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-1-(2-ethyl-5-methoxyphenyl)-6-(2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)-5-(piperazine-1-carbonyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one atropisomers is excluded.

Thiazole derivatives useful as mutant IDH1 inhibitors for treating cancer

Compounds of Formula I and Formula II and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are disclosed The variables A, B, Y, Z, X, X, Rand Rare disclosed herein. The compounds are useful for treating cancer disorders, especially those involving mutant IDH1 enzymes. Pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of Formula I or Formula II and methods of treatment comprising administering compounds of Formula I and Formula II are also disclosed. 

Mutant IDH1 inhibitors useful for treating cancer

Provided is a compound of formula (I), in which Ar, R, U, V, W, X, and p are as described herein. Also provided are methods of using a compound of formula (I), including a method of treating cancer, a method of treating a patient with cancer cells resistant to an anti-cancer agent, and a method of inhibiting lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and/or lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) activity in a cell.
