Abstract

The present invention provides novel 6-substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines that are agonists of Rev-Erb. These compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, are suitable means for treating any disease wherein the activation of Rev-Erb has therapeutic effects, for instance in inflammatory and circadian rhythm-related disorders or cardiometabolic diseases.

each of Y and Z represents independently an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, a CH 2 , or a carbonyl group; and
wherein any of the alkyl, alkoxy, alkylamino, and alkylthio group in R1, R2, R3; Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, Re, or within W is substituted or not with one or more halogen atoms, an aryl group, an heterocyclic group, an alkylamino group, an amino group or a hydroxy group.
