Hetaryl imidazoles: a novel dual inhibitors of VEGF receptors I and II

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Mar 1;16(5):1440-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.11.033.

Abstract

A novel potent derivatives of hetaryl imidazoles were described as inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor II (VEGFR-2). Several compounds display VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity reaching IC(50)<100 nM in both enzymatic and cellular assays. The compounds also inhibit the related tyrosine kinase, VEGFR-1. By controlling the substitution pattern on the 5-carboxamido functionality, both dual and specific VEGFR-2 thiazoles were identified.
