Discovery of a novel series of quinoxalines as inhibitors of c-Met kinase

A series of quinoxaline inhibitors of c-Met kinase is described. The postulated binding mode was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure and optimisation of the series was performed on the basis of this structure. Future directions for development of the series are discussed together with the identification of a novel quinoline scaffold.

The SAR of a series of quinoxaline inhibitors of c-Met kinase is reported.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
