Abstract
The invention is directed to small organic molecules having the ability to mimic or agonize hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) activity, or inhibit or antagonize HGF/SF activity, the former useful for promoting, for example, vascularization of tissues or organs for promoting wound or tissue healing, or augmenting or restoring blood flow to ischemic tissues such as the heart following myocardial infarction. Inhibition of cellular growth or proliferation is beneficial in the treatment, for example, of inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory joint and skin diseases, and dysproliferative diseases such as cancer.
