Discovery and selectivity-profiling of 4-benzylamino 1-aza-9-oxafluorene derivatives as lead structures for IGF-1R inhibitors
摘要:
Recently the insuline-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) emerged as a promising target structure for the development of novel anti-cancer agents. IGF-1R plays a central role in both tumour progression and resistance development against anti-cancer drugs. We discovered 1-aza-9-oxafluorene derivatives as novel lead structures with submicromolar activities against IGF-1R. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) on a series of related receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are discussed in the context of available crystal structures. A preliminary selectivity-profiling is demonstrated for the first compound series. Anti-proliferative tumour cell line screening studies yielded one candidate as a promising cytostatic agent without significant toxic effects. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
