Arylphthalazines as potent, and orally bioavailable inhibitors of VEGFR-2

Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 Jan 15;17(2):731-40. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2008.11.049. Epub 2008 Nov 24.

Abstract

A series of arylphthalazine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as antagonists of VEGF receptor II (VEGFR-2). IM-094482 57, which was prepared in two steps from commercially available starting materials, was found to be a potent inhibitor of VEGFR-2 in enzymatic, cellular and mitogenic assays (comparable activity to ZD-6474). Additionally, 57 inhibited the related receptor, VEGF receptor I (VEGFR-1), and showed excellent exposure when dosed orally to female CD-1 mice.
