The present invention addresses these needs. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United 15 States, exceeded only by heart disease. (Cancer Facts and The present invention provides, in part, Substituted imida Figures 2004, American Cancer Society, Inc.). Despite recent Zolyl-5,6-dihydrobenzonisoquinoline compounds of For advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, Surgery and mula I, II, III or IV and methods of preparing the compounds radiotherapy may be curative if a cancer is found early, but of Formula I, II, III or IV: current drug therapies for metastatic disease are mostly pal liative and seldom offer a long-term cure. Even with new chemotherapies entering the market, the need continues for (I) new drugs effective in monotherapy or in combination with Rc2 existing agents as first line therapy, and as second and third N-N^ line therapies in treatment of resistant tumors. 25 W Cancer cells are by definition heterogeneous. For example, Rel a NN within a single tissue or cell type, multiple mutational "mechanisms' may lead to the development of cancer. As Rc4 S Such, heterogeneity frequently exists between cancer cells taken from tumors of the same tissue and same type that have 30 X originated in different individuals. Frequently observed R1 Nx1 mutational "mechanisms' associated with some cancers may (II) differ between one tissue type and another (e.g., frequently observed mutational "mechanisms' leading to colon cancer may differ from frequently observed “mechanisms' leading 35 to leukemias). It is therefore often difficult to predict whether a particular cancer will respond to a particular chemothera peutic agent (Cancer Medicine, 5' edition, Bast et al., B.C. Decker Inc., Hamilton, Ontario). Components of cellular signal transduction pathways that 40 regulate the growth and differentiation of normal cells can, when dysregulated, lead to the development of cellular pro (III) liferative disorders and cancer. Mutations in cellular signal Rc2 ing proteins may cause Such proteins to become expressed or N-N? activated at inappropriate levels or at inappropriate times 45 W during the cell cycle, which in turn may lead to uncontrolled Rel 21 NN cellular growth or changes in cell-cell attachment properties. For example, dysregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases by mutation, gene rearrangement, gene amplification, and over N expression of both receptor and ligand has been implicated in 50 the development and progression of human cancers. Rc6, FGFR2 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family, where amino acid sequence is highly conserved Rc5 between members and throughout evolution. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligandaffinities and 55 tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein con (IV) sists of an extracellular region, composed of three immuno Rc2 globulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane N-N? spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. W The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibro 60 Rel 21 NN blast growth factors, setting downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. Rc4 N Alterations in the activity (expression) of the FGFR2 gene are associated with certain cancers. The altered gene expres sion may enhance several cancer-related events such as cell 65 R Y Rc6, proliferation, cell movement, and the development of new blood vessels that nourish a growing tumor.
