Abstract
In our efforts to develop novel dual c-Met/VEGFR-2 inhibitors as potential anticancer agents, a series of 2-substituted-4-(2-fluorophenoxy) pyridine derivatives bearing pyrazolone scaffold were designed and synthesized. The cell proliferation assay in vitro demonstrated that most target compounds had inhibition potency on both c-Met and VEGFR-2, especially compound 9h, 12b and 12d. Based on the further enzyme assay in vitro, compound 12d was considered as the most promising one, the IC50 values of which were 0.11μM and 0.19μM for c-Met and VEGFR-2, respectively. Further molecular docking studies suggested a common mode of interaction at the ATP-binding site of c-Met and VEGFR-2, indicating that 12d was a potential compound for cancer therapy deserving further study.
