Patent Claims:	1. A method for treating a B-cell proliferative disorder comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor having the structure of Formula (A) ##STR00057## wherein A is N; R.sub.1 is L.sub.2-(substituted aryl), where L.sub.2 is a bond; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from H, lower alkyl and substituted lower alkyl; R.sub.4 is L.sub.3-X-L.sub.4-G, wherein, L.sub.3, X and L.sub.4 taken together form a nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring; G is ##STR00058## wherein, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are independently selected from among H, lower alkyl or substituted lower alkyl, lower heteroalkyl or substituted lower heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted lower cycloalkyl, and substituted or unsubstituted lower heterocycloalkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma selected from the group consisting of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and burkitt lymphoma. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is plasma cell myeloma. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor is administered orally. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein a covalent bond is formed between a portion of the acrylamide on the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor and a portion of a cysteine residue on a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). 7. A method for treating a B-cell proliferative disorder comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor, wherein the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor comprises the structure ##STR00059## 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma selected from the group consisting of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and burkitt lymphoma. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is plasma cell myeloma. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein a covalent bond is formed between a portion of the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor and a portion of a cysteine residue of a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the cysteine residue is cysteine 481 of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor has an 1050 of less than 1 .mu.M. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor has an 1050 of less than 0.2504. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the irreversible covalent Btk inhibitor is administered orally. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject is a human. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is chronic lymphocytic leukemia. 18. The method of claim 7, wherein the B-cell proliferative disorder is chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
