Discovery and SAR study of c-Met kinase inhibitors bearing an 3-amino-benzo[d]isoxazole or 3-aminoindazole scaffold
摘要:
A series of 3-amino-benzo[d]isoxazole-/3-aminoindazole-based compounds were designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated as tyrosine kinase c-Met inhibitors. The SAR study was conducted leading to identification of nine compounds (8d, 8e, 12, 28a-d, 28h and 28i) with IC(50)s less than 10 nM against c-Met. Compound 28a stood out as the most potent c-Met inhibitor displaying potent inhibitory effects both at enzymatic (IC50 = 1.8 nM) and cellular (IC50 = 0.18 mu M on EBC-1 cells) levels. In addition, 28a had a relatively good selectivity compared to a panel of our in-house 14 RTKs. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
