The present invention provides a class of chemical compounds useful as efficacious drugs in the treatment of sickle cell disease and diseases characterized by unwanted or abnormal cell proliferation, and in particular inflammatory diseases associated with unwanted cellular proliferation. The active compounds are substituted triaryl methane compounds or analogues thereof where one or more of the aryl groups is replaced with a heteroaryl, cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group and/or the tertiary carbon atom is replaced with a different atom such as Si, Ge, N or P. the compounds inhibit mammalian cell proliferation, inhibit the Gardos channel of erythrocytes, reduce sickle erythrocyte dehydration and/or delay the occurrence of erythrocyte sickling or deformation.

Use of triaryl methane compounds for inhibiting unwanted cellular proliferation associated with inflammatory disease

The present invention relates to derivatives of 4-(Thio- or Selenoxanthene-9-ylidene)-piperidine or acridine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, use of these compounds as a medicament and for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment of a disease state which can be alleviated by treatment with a 5-HT2B antagonist.
