| The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) tyrosine kinases, and in particular KDR, are thought to play a prominent role in tumor angiogenesis, a process required for tumor growth and metastasis. Inhibition of VEGFR/PDGFR activation has become a compelling approach in the development of anticancer agents. In our continued efforts to identify potent and novel kinase inhibitors, we have discovered a series of azaindazole ureas that potently inhibit KDR and other VEGFR/PDGFR tyrosine kinases. These compounds also inhibit cellular KDR phosphorylation and demonstrate oral activity in an estradiol-induced mouse uterine edema model. This poster presentation will describe the synthesis, structure-activity relationships (SARs) and characterization of this series of multit-argeted kinase inhibitors. |
