group, a morpholinyl group, optionally substituted by a (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkyl group, a piperazinyl group, a piperidinyl group, or a —CR.sup.1R.sup.2R.sup.3 group, or any of its pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

This invention relates to agents that are inhibitors or activators of variant forms of endogenous proteins and novel methods of identifying such variants. Of particular interest are inhibitors and activators of endogenous protein variants, encoded by genes which have mutated, which variants often arise or are at least first identified as having arisen following exposure to a chemical agent which is known to be an inhibitor or activator of the corresponding unmutated endogenous protein.
