Provided are compounds that are kinase inhibitors. The compounds have improved properties that lead to specific targeting of kinases without inhibiting the activity of related enzymes, which make them useful for therapeutic intervention in a variety of disorders and disease in which inhibition of the kinase can be clinically useful, e.g., Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. The compounds can also be used in methods of treating a neurodegenerative disease associated with inflammation, such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), or a disease or disorder such as deafness, glaucoma, organ failure, or cancers, including, but not limited to, those susceptible to combination therapy with epigenetic targets such as those associated with bromodomain (BRD) proteins, histone deacetylases (HDACs), and the like.

Kinase inhibitors for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

The present invention relates to methods of modulating activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). The present invention also relates to methods of treating HDAC-associated diseases including, but not limited to, cancers, inflammatory disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders. The present invention also provides novel compounds and compositions thereof and methods of preparation of the same. The present invention also includes methods of inhibiting HDACs, and methods of treating HDAC-associated diseases using the compounds of the invention.
