Orally bioavailable, dual inhibitors of TIE-2/VEGF-R2 were identified by elaborating the C3/N13 SAR around a fused pyrrolodihydroindazolocarbazole scaffold. Analogs bearing a C3-thiophencarbonyl group were evaluated in enzymatic and cellular biochemical assays; two orally bioavailable analogs were further profiled in functional assays and found to inhibit microvessel growth in rat aortic explant cultures and inhibit Ang-1-stimulated chemotaxis of HUVECs.
