Mr. Barvian et al., 1-OXO-3-ARYL-1H-INDENE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID-DERIVATIVES AS SELECTIVE INHIBITORS OF FIBROBLAST GROWTH-FACTOR RECEPTOR-1 TYROSINE KINASE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(22), 1997, pp. 2903-2908
Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFr) mediated signal transduction
is implicated in vascular proliferative diseases and some cancers. We
have identified methyl 1-oxo-3-phenyl-1H-indene-2-carboxylic ester as
a small molecule inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of FGFr-1,
(IC50 = 5.1 mu M). We report here the synthesis and structure-activity
studies about this template core. Additionally, screening of this ser
ies against a panel of tyrosine kinases shows selective inhibition of
FGFr. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
