COMPOUNDS AND COMPOSITIONS AS PROTEIN TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITORS

FIELD: chemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a compound of formula Ia: and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, where: p equals 0 or 1; n assumes values from 1 to 3, q equals 1; R5 is selected from hydrogen, -XNR7R8, pyrimidine-C0-4alkyl, pyridine-C0-4alkyl, phenyl, C3-10cycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl and C3-6heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl, where C3-6heterocycloalkyl is a saturated monocyclic ring system containing the said number of atoms, provided that one or more of the said carbon atoms is substituted with O or NR, where R is hydrogen or C1-4alkyl; R7 and R8 represent C1-4alkyl; R6 denotes hydrogen; or R5 and R6 together with a nitrogen atom to which they are both bonded form morpholine or piperidine; where any piperdine-C0-4alkyl, piperidine-C0-4alkyl or C3-10cycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl of substitute R5 or a combination of radicals R5 and R6 can be optionally substituted with 1-2 radicals which are independently selected from -XNR7R8 and -XOR7, the said phenyl of substitute R5 is substituted with a -XR9 group, the said C3-6heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl of substitute R5 is optionally substituted with a -XOR7 group, where X is a single bond or C1-4alkylene; R7 and R8 are independently selected from hydrogen and C1-4alkyl; R9 is selected from C3-10heterocycloalkyl which is a saturated monocyclic ring system containing the said number of atoms, provided that one or more of the said carbon atoms is substituted with O or NR, where R is as given above; R10 denotes hydrogen; R15 is selected from halogen, C1-6alkyl and C1-6alkoxy; and R16 is selected from halogen, methoxy, nitro, -NR12C(O)R13, -C(O)NR12R12, -NR12R12, -C(O)OR12 and -C(O)NR12R13; each R12 is selected from hydrogen and C1-6alkyl; R13 is selected from phenyl, thienyl, pyrazolyl, pyridinyl or isoxazolyl, where any phenyl, thienyl, pyrazolyl, pyridinyl or isoxazolyl of substitute R13 can be optionally substituted with 1-2 radicals which are independently selected from halogen, C1-6alkyl, halogen-substituted C1-6alkyl, imidazole-C0-4alkyl, C3-10cycloalkyl, C3-10heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkoxy and C3-10heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl; where the said C3-10heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkoxy and C3-10heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl each represent a saturated monocyclic ring system containing the said number of atoms, provided that one or more of the said carbon atoms is substituted with O or NR, where R assumes values given above; and the said C3-10heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkoxy and C3-10heterocycloalkyl-C0-4alkyl can each be optionally substi
