Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) plays a crucial role in cancer angiogenesis. In the current study, a series of novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine based-compounds was designed and synthesized as VEGFR-2 inhibitors, in accordance to the structure activity relationship (SAR) studies of known type II VEGFR-2 inhibitors. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit VEGFR-2 kinase enzyme in vitro. All the tested compounds demonstrated highly potent dose-related VEGFR-2 inhibition with IC50 values in nanomolar range. Among these compounds, pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives carrying biaryl urea moieties (12d and 15c) exhibited IC50 values of 11.9 and 13.6 nM respectively. Additionally, most of the newly synthesized final compounds were tested on 60 human cancer cell lines. Docking of these compounds into the inactive conformation of VEGFR-2 was performed which showed comparable binding modes to that of the FDA approved VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors. These newly discovered potent kinase inhibitors could be considered as potential candidates for the development of new targeted anticancer agent.
