Two series of new analogues were designed by replacing the quinoline scaffold of our earlier lead 2 (zgwatinib) with quinoxaline and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine frameworks. Moderate c-Met inhibitory activity was observed in the quinoxaline series. Among the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine series, compounds 13a-c possessing an O-linkage were inactive, whilst the N-linked analogues 15a-c retained c-Met inhibitory potency. Highest activity was observed in the 3-nitrobenzyl analog 15b that showed an IC50 value of 6.5 nM. Further structural modifications based on this compound were undergoing.
