Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Axitinib Derivatives
Axitinib is an approved kinase inhibitor for the therapy of advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It prevents angiogenesis, cellular adhesion, and induces apoptosis of cancer cells. Here, nine axitinib derivatives were designed by replacing the C=C moiety with the N=N group, and the substi...

Axitinib is an approved kinase inhibitor for the therapy of advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It prevents angiogenesis, cellular adhesion, and induces apoptosis of cancer cells.

Biological activity results showed that most of nascent derivatives exhibited favorable VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitory activities, and TM6, 7, 9, and 11 behaved more potent anti-proliferative activities than axitinib. This novel series of compounds shows a potential for the treatment of solid tumors and other diseases where angiogenesis plays an important role. |
