The present invention provides compounds acting as an effective and selective medicament for the treatment of neoplastic diseases or proliferative disorders, in particular compounds which induce selectively apoptosis of degenerated cells providing reduced side effects in living organisms. The compounds of the present invention are characterized by a high selectivity towards neoplastic cells. CLL cells show a higher sensitivity towards the compounds than PBMCs opening a therapeutic window. The EC50 for CLL cells is in the lower micromolar range.
