[0540] The following contains definitions of terms used in this specification. The initial definition provided for a group or term herein applies to that group or term throughout the present specification, individually or as part of another group, unless otherwise indicated.

[0541] The compounds of the present invention may form salts, which are also within the scope of this invention. Reference to a compound of the invention herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated. The term “salt(s)”, as employed herein, denotes acidic and/or basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids and bases. Zwitterions (internal or inner salts) are included within the term “salt(s)” as used herein (and may be formed, for example, where the substituents comprise an acid moiety such as a carboxyl group and an amino group). Also included herein are quaternary ammonium salts such as alkylammonium salts. Salts of the compounds may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

[0542] Exemplary salts resulting from the addition of an acid include acetates (such as those formed with acetic acid or trihaloacetic acid, for example, trifluoroacetic acid), adipates, alginates, ascorbates, aspartates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, cyclopentanepropionates, digluconates, dodecylsulfates, ethanesulfonates, fumarates, glucoheptanoates, glycerophosphates, hemisulfates, heptanoates, hexanoates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, chlorates, bromates, iodates, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonates, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, 2-naphthalenesulfonates, nicotinates, nitrates, oxalates, pectinates, persulfates, 3-phenylpropionates, phosphates, picrates, pivalates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates (such as those formed with sulfuric acid), sulfonates (such as those mentioned herein), tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates such as tosylates, undecanoates, and the like.

[0543] Exemplary salts resulting from the addition of a base (formed, for example, where the substituents comprise an acidic moiety such as a carboxyl group) include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as benzathines, dicyclohexylamines, hydrabamines, N-methyl-D-glucamines, N-methyl-D-glucamides, tert-butyl amines, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. The basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quaternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g. dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g. decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), aralkyl halides (e.g. benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.

[0544] The present invention also includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein. As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by converting an existing acid or base moiety to its salt form. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines; alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids; and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention include the conventional non-toxic salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the parent compound which contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two; generally, nonaqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are preferred. Lists of suitable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17.sup.th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, p. 1418 and Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 1977, 66 (2), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0545] The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

[0546] Furthermore, in the case of the compounds of the invention which contain an asymmetric carbon atom or an atropoisomeric bond, the invention relates to the D form, the L form and D,L mixtures and also, where more than one asymmetric carbon atom or atropoisomeric bond is present, to the diastereomeric forms. Those compounds of the invention which contain asymmetric carbon atoms or atropoisomeric bonds, and which as a rule accrue as racemates, can be separated into the optically active isomers in a known manner, for example using an optically active acid. However, it is also possible to use an optically active starting substance from the outset, with a corresponding optically active or diastereomeric compound then being obtained as the end product.

[0547] Compounds of the invention also include tautomeric forms. Tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an adjacent double bond together with the concomitant migration of a proton. Tautomeric forms include prototropic tautomers which are isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and total charge. Example prototropic tautomers include ketone-enol pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more positions of a heterocyclic system, for example, 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H-, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole. Tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically locked into one form by appropriate substitution.

[0548] The compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of the present invention that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms.

[0549] Compounds of the invention can also include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium.

[0550] Also included are solvates and hydrates of the compounds of the invention and solvates and hydrates of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0551] The term “compound” as used herein is meant to include all stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, rotamers, and isotopes of the structures depicted, unless otherwise indicated.

[0552] In some embodiments, the compound can be provided as a prodrug. The term “prodrug”, as employed herein, denotes a compound, which, upon administration to a subject, undergoes chemical conversion by metabolic or chemical processes to yield a compound of the invention, or a salt and/or solvate thereof.

[0553] In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention, and salts thereof, are substantially isolated. By “substantially isolated” is meant that the compound is at least partially or substantially separated from the environment in which it was formed or detected. Partial separation can include, for example, a composition enriched in the compound of the invention. Substantial separation can include compositions containing at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99% by weight of the compound of the invention, or salt thereof.

[0554] Pharmaceutical Methods

[0555] The compounds according to the invention have been found to have pharmacologically important properties, which can be used therapeutically. The compounds of the invention can be used alone, in combination with each other or in combination with other active compounds.

[0556] In certain embodiments, compounds of the present invention may exhibit growth inhibiting properties in hyperproliferative processes.

[0557] The antiproliferative activities of compounds falling under formula (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), respectively, were investigated on cells or cell lines originating from a disorder of the haematopoietic system, including the myeloid cell compartment and the lymphoid cell compartment (T-cells and B-cells), the neuroendocrine system, the cervix, the breast, the ovaries, the lung, the gastrointestinal tract, and the mucosal epithelium, as well as from the skin epithelium and from the muscle. To this end, HL-60 cells, NB-4 cells, HH cells, RPMI-8402 cells, TANOUE cells, TT cells, HeLa cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, FU-OV-1 cells, LOU-NH91 cells, 23132/87 cells, CAL-27 cells, BHY cells, SCC-25 cells, A-431 cells, human primary epidermal keratinocytes (HPEK), and C2C12 cells were seeded into 96-well plates suitable for fluorescence assays (CORNING #3598) at following initial cell numbers: 1000 cells per well for HL-60; 1000 cells per well for NB-4; 5000 cells per well for HH; 5000 cells per well for RPMI-8402; 1500 cells per well for TANOUE; 9000 cells per well for TT; 2000 cells per well for HeLa; 3000 cells per well for MDA-MB-231; 3000 cells per well for FU-OV-1; 4000 cells per well for LOU-NH91; 2000 cells per well for 23132/87; 2000 cells per well for CAL-27; 1500 cells per well for BHY; 1500 cells per well for SCC-25; 700 cells per well for A-431; 1000 cells per well for HPEK; 500 cells per well for C2C12. The cells were treated with compounds at indicated final concentrations (diluted from the 1000× stock-solutions in DMSO to a final DMSO concentration of 0.1% v/v in H.sub.2O (Water For Injection, WFI, Fisherscientific #10378939)) or with the empty carrier DMSO at 0.1% v/v as control for 5 days. At day 5 after starting the treatments the cells were subjected to the alamarBlue® Proliferation Assay (Bio-Rad Serotec GmbH, BUF012B) according to the protocol of the manufacturer. The readout was taken with a multi-well plate-reader in the fluorescence mode with applying a filter for excitation at 560 nm (band width 10 nm) and for emission at 590 nm (band width 10 nm). Control treatments for growth inhibition with commercial compounds such as Methotrexate (MTREX) and Resveratrol (RES) were included on every plate. Some of the test compounds of the present invention were obtained and applied as their salts. According cases are indicated in the column “Specification” in Table 55 to Table 92 and by their sum formula in Table 93.

[0558] The assays were performed in duplicate or more replicates of independent single experiments each containing a six-fold replicate for every condition. For every individual plate, the measured fluorescence intensity values of the conditions with compound treatment were normalized against the corresponding equally weighted arithmetic mean of the fluorescence intensity values of the six DMSO treated control wells in order to obtain the relative values to a baseline level of 1.0.

[0559] Two independent outlier analyses were performed according to the methods by Peirce and Chauvenet (Ross, Journal of Engineering Technology 2003, 1-12). Outliers confirmed by at least one of the methods were excluded from the calculations but not more than one value out of six per compound within a single experiment. The weighted arithmetic mean (here abbreviated as AVE.sub.w) for each compound was calculated from the normalized values over all independent replicates of the single experiments comprising the six replicates each. The corresponding standard deviation for the weighted arithmetic mean was calculated according to the method described by Bronstein et al. (Bronstein, Semendjajew, Musiol, Müihlig, Taschenbuch der Mathematik, 5.sup.th edition 2001 (German), publisher: Verlag Harri Deutsch, Frankfurt am Main and Thun) and was combined with the Gauß' error propagation associated with the performed calculation for the normalization. The resulting standard deviation is herein referred to as “combined standard deviation”.

[0560] In cases with considerable variation in the normalized equally weighted arithmetic means derived from two independent replicates, the number of independent replicates was increased to three or more. In the cases of four or more independent replicates, a second-line outlier analysis was applied on all normalized equally weighted arithmetic means according to the methods by Peirce and Chauvenet as described above.

[0561] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention may be growth inhibitors in hyperproliferative processes, including malignant and non-malignant hyperproliferative processes.

[0562] In one embodiment, several compounds of the invention were found to inhibit the growth of HL-60 cells (human acute myeloid leukemia cells) obtainable from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under the accession number ACC 3. HL-60 cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium (Fisherscientific, #11554526) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Fisherscientific, #15517589) at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2.

[0563] A compound is considered as a growth inhibitor of HL-60 cells, if—at a reference concentration of 20 μM—the weighted arithmetic mean of the normalized fluorescence intensity values after addition of the corresponding combined standard deviation amounts to 0.9 or lower, in particular to 0.8 or lower, 0.7 or lower, 0.6 or lower, 0.4 or lower, and 0.2 or lower, relative to the overall basis level of 1.0. The overall basis level was calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all normalized values from the DMSO control measurements in analogy to the calculations performed for the test-compounds. The corresponding combined standard deviation for the DMSO values amounts to less than 1.Math.10.sup.−2.

[0564] According to the method described above, several molecules falling under the scope of the compounds herein defined in formula (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), respectively, have been identified as growth inhibitors of HL-60 cells. The so far identified HL-60 growth inhibitors relate to the compounds listed in Table 55 and Table 56. The entries of Table 55 and Table 56 are categorized by the corresponding weighted arithmetic means of the compounds without consideration of the respective standard deviations, hence falling into the activity ranges as indicated.

[0569] The data in Table 57 relate to novel compounds, wherein the data in Table 58 relate to a novel medical use of compounds disclosed in PCT/EP2018/054686.

[0570] In one embodiment, several compounds of the invention were found to inhibit the growth of HH cells (human cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cells) obtainable from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under the accession number ACC 707. HH cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium (Fisherscientific, #11554526) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Fisherscientific, #15517589) at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2.

[0571] A compound is considered as a growth inhibitor of HH cells, if—at a reference concentration of 20 μM—the weighted arithmetic mean of the normalized fluorescence intensity values after addition of the corresponding combined standard deviation amounts to 0.9 or lower, in particular to 0.8 or lower, 0.7 or lower, 0.6 or lower, 0.4 or lower, and 0.2 or lower, relative to the overall basis level of 1.0. The overall basis level was calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all normalized values from the DMSO control measurements in analogy to the calculations performed for the test-compounds. The corresponding combined standard deviation for the DMSO values amounts to less than 1.Math.10.sup.−2.

[0572] According to the method described above, several molecules falling under the scope of the compounds herein defined in formula (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), respectively, have been identified as growth inhibitors of HH cells. The so far identified HH growth inhibitors relate to the compounds listed in Table 59 and Table 60. The entries of Table 59 and Table 60 are categorized by the corresponding weighted arithmetic means of the compounds without consideration of the respective standard deviations, hence falling into the activity ranges as indicated.

[0595] In one embodiment, several compounds of the invention were found to inhibit the growth of FU-OV-1 cells (human ovarian carcinoma cells) obtainable from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under the accession number ACC 444. FU-OV-1 cells were cultivated in Ham's F-12/DMEM (1:1) medium (Fisherscientific, #11514436) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Fisherscientific, #15517589) and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Fisherscientific, #11501871) at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2.

[0596] A compound is considered as a growth inhibitor of FU-OV-1 cells, if—at a reference concentration of 20 μM—the weighted arithmetic mean of the normalized fluorescence intensity values after addition of the corresponding combined standard deviation amounts to 0.9 or lower, in particular to 0.8 or lower, 0.7 or lower, 0.6 or lower, 0.4 or lower, and 0.2 or lower, relative to the overall basis level of 1.0. The overall basis level was calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all normalized values from the DMSO control measurements in analogy to the calculations performed for the test-compounds. The corresponding combined standard deviation for the DMSO values amounts to less than 1.Math.10.sup.−2.

CAL-27 cells were cultivated in DMEM medium (Fisherscientific, #11584456) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Fisherscientific, #15517589) at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2.

[0608] A compound is considered as a growth inhibitor of CAL-27 cells, if—at a reference concentration of 20 μM—the weighted arithmetic mean of the normalized fluorescence intensity values after addition of the corresponding combined standard deviation amounts to 0.9 or lower, in particular to 0.8 or lower, 0.7 or lower, 0.6 or lower, 0.4 or lower, and 0.2 or lower, relative to the overall basis level of 1.0. The overall basis level was calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all normalized values from the DMSO control measurements in analogy to the calculations performed for the test-compounds. The corresponding combined standard deviation for the DMSO values amounts to less than 1.Math.10.sup.−2.

[0609] According to the method described above, several molecules falling under the scope of the compounds herein defined in formula (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), respectively, have been identified as growth inhibitors of CAL-27 cells. The so far identified CAL-27 growth inhibitors relate to the compounds listed in Table 77 and Table 78. The entries of Table 77 and Table 78 are categorized by the corresponding weighted arithmetic means of the compounds without consideration of the respective standard deviations, hence falling into the activity ranges as indicated.

[0623] In one embodiment, several compounds of the invention were found to inhibit the growth of human epidermal keratinocyte progenitors, (HPEKp, pooled), obtainable from CELLnTEC Advanced Cell Systems AG under the accession number HPEKp. HPEKp cells were cultivated in CnT-Prime epithelial culture medium (CELLnTEC, #CnT-PR, a fully defined, low calcium formulation, completely free of animal or human-derived components) without addition of further components at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2.

[0624] A compound is considered as a growth inhibitor of HPEKp cells, if—at a reference concentration of 10 μM—the weighted arithmetic mean of the normalized fluorescence intensity values after addition of the corresponding combined standard deviation amounts to 0.9 or lower, in particular to 0.8 or lower, 0.7 or lower, 0.6 or lower, 0.4 or lower, and 0.2 or lower, relative to the overall basis level of 1.0. The overall basis level was calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all normalized values from the DMSO control measurements in analogy to the calculations performed for the test-compounds. The corresponding combined standard deviation for the DMSO values amounts to less than 1.Math.10.sup.−2.

[0625] According to the method described above, several molecules falling under the scope of the compounds herein defined in formula (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), respectively, have been identified as growth inhibitors of HPEKp cells.

[0631] In certain embodiments, compounds of the present invention may be modulators, in particular enhancers of Notch signalling.

[0632] The communication between cells via Notch signaling (reviewed in Kopan et al., Cell 2009, 137, 216-233; Bray, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2016, 17, 722-735) is in the first step mediated by two types of transmembrane proteins: The Notch receptors being distributed across the cell membrane of the signal-receiving cell and the Notch ligands covering the membrane of the signal-sending cell. Mechanistically, Notch signaling is activated by receptor-ligand interaction, which leads to the proteolytic release of the intracellular domain (NICD) of the membrane bound Notch receptor into the inside of the signal-receiving cell. Subsequent translocation of NICD into the nucleus in turn leads to the transcriptional activation of certain and cell type specific genes. The Notch-mediated alteration of the previous gene-expression program of a cell is manifested in according cellular changes, which represent the response of the cell to a Notch signal.

[0633] The activation level of Notch signaling can be quantified in vitro reliably by measuring the expression levels of Notch specific target genes. This can be accomplished by the quantification of corresponding mRNA or protein of a particular Notch target gene. Alternatively, cells can be genetically modified to carry a luciferase gene as an artificial Notch target gene, which is expressed in dependence of Notch activity. In this setting, Notch signaling levels can be quantified by measuring the luciferase-derived bioluminescence values.

[0634] An according Notch-reporter assay, i.e. a luciferase-based luminescence readout, was used here to quantify the ability of the claimed compounds to augment Notch signaling in a cellular system. For this purpose, HeLa cells, obtainable from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) under the accession number ATCC-CCL-2, were transiently transfected for 24 hours using FuGENE® HD (Promega, #E2311) as transfection reagent with expression vectors of a membrane-tethered form of the constitutively active intracellular domain of the human Notch1 receptor (hNotch1ΔE) to activate the Notch signaling cascade (BPS Bioscience, customized human analogue to Notch Pathway Reporter Kit #60509 component C), a Firefly luciferase being expressed under the control of a Notch-responsive promoter to monitor Notch signaling (BPS Bioscience, Notch Pathway Reporter Kit #60509, CSL luciferase reporter vector from component A not premixed with Renilla luciferase vector), and a Renilla luciferase being constitutively expressed in a Notch signaling independent manner to include a measure for the cell number per sample (Promega, pRL-SV40, #E2231). HeLa cells were cultivated in DMEM medium (Fisherscientific, #11584456) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Fisherscientific, #15517589). The transfection was carried out in a 100 mm-culture dish (StarLab, #CC7682-3394) with cells being properly attached to the plate at a cell confluency of 80-90% in a total volume of 7 mL culture medium. Per dish to be transfected, a transfection mix was prepared by adding to 238 μL Opti-MEM (Fisherscientific, #10149832) 40 μL of the hNotch1ΔE expression vector (100 ng/μL), 80 μL of the CSL luciferase reporter vector (40 ng/μL), 4 μL of the pRL-SV40-Renilla luciferase vector (10 ng/μL), and in the last step 18.1 μL of FuGENE® HD. After addition of FuGENE® HD the transfection mix was let stand for 15 min at room temperature and hereafter equally distributed into the culture dish. After 24 hours of transfection, the transfected cells were carefully detached from the dish using 0.5 mM EDTA in PBS and seeded into 96-well plates suitable for luminescence readouts (CORNING, #3610) at 10′000 cells per well. The cells were then incubated with the test-compounds at a final concentration of 10 μM (diluted from 10 mM stock-solutions in DMSO to a final DMSO concentration of 0.1% v/v in H.sub.2O (Water For Injection, WFI, Fisherscientific #10378939)) or with the empty carrier DMSO at 0.1% v/v as control for 20 hours. Hereafter, the cells were washed once with PBS and then lysed with 30 μL per well of Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega, #E194A, component of Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System, #E1910) by gently shaking the plates for 20 min at room temperature with an orbital plate shaker. Directly after the lysis, first the Firefly and then the Renilla luciferase values were measured consecutively from the same well with a luminescence reader immediately after applying 15 μL per well each of the corresponding enzyme substrates needed to create the luminescence signals (Promega, Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System, #E1910).

[0635] The suitability of the assays for monitoring Notch signaling was controlled by additionally including a generally accepted commercial Notch inhibitor, i.e. DAPT, as negative control, as well as the reported Notch enhancer resveratrol (RES) as positive control (Pinchot et al., Cancer 2011, 117, 1386-1398; Truong et al., Ann. Surg. Oncol. 2011, 18, 1506-1511; Yu et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2013, 12, 1276-1287). Both control compounds were likewise tested at 10 μM.

[0636] Per single experiment the measurement was performed in six replicates per compound. For every compound, this experiment was repeated in three or more independent replicates. The values of the Notch-reporter luciferase were normalized by division through the corresponding individual Notch-independent Renilla values in order to eliminate the impact of variation in the absolute cell numbers in between the samples. For every individual plate, a second normalization was performed against the equally weighted arithmetic mean (here abbreviated as AVE) of the six associated Renilla-normalized DMSO-control values within a single experiment in order to obtain the relative values to a baseline level of 1.0. The statistical calculations were performed in analogy to the proliferation assay as described above. To this end, two independent outlier analyses were performed according to the methods by Peirce and Chauvenet (Ross, Journal of Engineering Technology 2003, 1-12). Outliers confirmed by at least one of the methods were excluded from the calculations but not more than one value out of six per compound within a single experiment. The weighted arithmetic mean AVE.sub.w for each compound was calculated from the double-normalized values over all independent replicates of the single experiments comprising the six replicates each. The corresponding standard deviation for the weighted arithmetic mean was calculated according to the method described by Bronstein et al. (Bronstein, Semendjajew, Musiol, Mühlig, Taschenbuch der Mathematik, 5.sup.th edition 2001 (German), publisher: Verlag Harri Deutsch, Frankfurt am Main and Thun) and was combined with the Gauß' error propagation associated with the performed calculation for the normalization. The resulting standard deviation is herein referred to as “combined standard deviation”.

[0637] In cases with considerable variation in the double-normalized equally weighted arithmetic means derived from three independent replicates, the number of independent replicates was increased to four or more. In the cases of four or more independent replicates, a second-line outlier analysis was applied on all double-normalized equally weighted arithmetic means according to the methods by Peirce and Chauvenet as described above.

[0638] A compound is considered as a Notch signaling augmenting molecule, i.e. an enhancer of Notch signaling, if the weighted arithmetic mean of the luminescence values after subtraction of the corresponding combined standard deviation amounts to 1.1 or higher, in particular to 1.2 or higher, 1.3 or higher, 1.4 or higher, 1.5 or higher, 1.7 or higher, and 2.0 or higher relative to the overall basis level of 1.0. The overall basis level was calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all double-normalized values from the DMSO control measurements in analogy to the calculations performed for the test-compounds. The corresponding combined standard deviation for the DMSO values amounts to less than 1.Math.10.sup.−2.

[0639] According to the method described above, several molecules falling under the scope of the compounds herein defined in formula (Ib) and (Ic), respectively, have been identified as enhancers of Notch signaling. The so far identified Notch enhancers relate to the compounds listed in Table 92. The entries of Table 92 are categorized by the corresponding weighted arithmetic mean of the compounds without consideration of the respective standard deviations, hence falling into the activity ranges as indicated.

[0720] General Considerations

[0721] The compounds listed in Table 93 and Table 94 have been identified by TLC using pre-coated silica TLC sheets and common organic solvents such as petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, methanol, toluene, triethylamine or acetic acid as eluent, preferably as binary or tertiary solvent mixtures thereof. UV light at a wavelength of 254 or 366 nm, and/or common staining solutions such as phosphomolybdic acid, potassium permanganate, or ninhydrin were used to visualize the compounds. Reactions were also monitored for completion this way. Reactions were run under inert atmosphere unless otherwise stated. Dry solvents were used wherever required. All reactions were stirred using a stir plate and magnetic stir bar.

[0722] The compounds listed in Table 93 have furthermore been identified by mass spectrometry using formic acid in the mobile phase for detection of positive ions, while no additive was used for negative ions. Ammonium Carbonate was used if the molecule was difficult to ionize in negative mode. Representative compounds and those which showed poor ionization in mass spectrometry were also identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (Table 94). Chemical shifts (6) were reported in parts per million (ppm) relative to residual solvent peaks rounded to the nearest 0.01 ppm for proton and 0.1 ppm for carbon (ref.: CHCl.sub.3 [.sup.1H: 7.26 ppm, .sup.13C: 77.2 ppm], DMSO [.sup.1H: 2.50 ppm, .sup.13C: 39.5 ppm]). Coupling constants (J) were reported in Hz to the nearest 0.1 Hz. Peak multiplicity was indicated as follows: s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), hept (heptet), m (multiplet), and br (broad).

XPW-0547 4-(4-butylphenoxy)-N-(methylsulfonyl)benzamide

[0759] ##STR01162##

[0760] To 4-(4-butylphenoxy)benzoic acid (104 mg, 0.38 mmol, 1 equiv), suspended in stirred toluene (1.85 mL, 0.2 M), under argon, was added first SOCl.sub.2 (67 μL, 0.93 mmol, 2.5 equiv) then DMF (0.3 μL, 3.7 μmol, 1 mol %) and the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then evaporated to dryness and the resulting residue placed under argon again and redissolved in THF (1.85 mL, 0.2 M). To this was added in order, trimethylamine (0.13 mL, 0.93 mmol, 2.5 equiv), DMAP (0.45 mg, 3.7 μmol, 1 mol %) and methansulfonamide (42.3 mg, 0.45 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and the suspension was stirred for 16 h. The reaction was then partitioned between AcOEt and HCl aq (1 M). The aqueous layer was extracted twice more and the combined organic phases were then washed with Brine, dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was then purified by flash chromatography (SiO.sub.2, gradient petroleum ether/AcOEt) to yield 118 mg of 4-(4-butylphenoxy)-N-(methylsulfonyl)benzamide (88%).
