Abstract

A series of 6,7-disubstituted-4-(2-fluorophenoxy)quinoline derivatives possessing 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro biological activities against c-Met kinase and five typical Cancer cell lines (A549, H460, HT-29, MKN-45 and U87MG). Most compounds showed moderate to excellent antiproliferative activity. In this study, a promising compound 34, with a c-Met IC50 value of 1.04nM, was identified as a multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The SAR analyses indicated that compounds with halogen group, especially fluoro group, at 4-position on the phenyl ring (moiety B) have potent antitumor activity, and methylation on the 5-atom linker played an important role in the c-Met enzymatic activity.
