Described herein is the design and synthesis of indazolylaminopyridopyrimid
ines and quinazolines as inhibitors of the class 1 tyrosine kinase receptor
family. Data is presented for N-4-(1-benzyl-1H-indazol-5-yl)-N-6,N-6-dimet
hylpyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6-diamine 3B. This compound inhibited EGFr and
c-erbB-2 enzymes selectively over other kinases. It inhibited the prolifer
ation of a range of tumour cell lines in vitro and the growth of BT474 xeno
grafts in SCID mice. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
