Abstract

The 3-benzimidazol-2-yl-1H-indazole scaffold was developed as an alternate scaffold for our receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor program. In exploring the SAR of this series, it was discovered that a subset of these compounds potently inhibit the enzyme c-ABL. The SAR of these compounds is described.
