Abstract In this study, a novel series of indazole –based compounds was designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated for its inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2 kinase enzyme. Three compounds exhibited significantly high activity against the enzyme (XIIIb), (XIIIc) and (XIIIe), showing IC50 values of 1.4, 1.3 and 8.1 nM respectively. On the other side, fourteen compounds were selected by NCI, to be screened against their panel of cancer cell lines for evaluation of their in vitro anticancer activity. Four compounds (Ve, Vf, XIIIa and XIIIc) were further selected for five dose testing against NCI cancer cell lines; as they displayed significant anticancer activity against NCI panel of cell lines. (Ve) exhibited nanomolar GI50 values against CCRF-CEM (901 nM), MOLT-4 (525 nM) and CAKI-1 (992 nM) and one digit micromolar activity against the rest of cell lines that ranged from 1.05 μM to 2.41 μM. Compound (Vf) had one digit micromolar activity against the whole panel of cell lines, ranging from 1.55 ato 7.4 μM. Compound (XIIIa) displayed nanomolar activity against broad spectrum of cell lines of different types where it exhibited its highest potency against T-47D breast cancer cell line (GI50 = 183 nM). Additionally, it showed one digit micromolar GI50 on the rest of cell lines panel ranging from1.01 to 5.22 μM. Compound (XIIIc)displayed nanomolar GI50 against two cell lines: KM12 colon cancer cell line (50 nM) and SF-539 CNS cancer cell line (612 nM), while it showed one digit micromolar GI50 on the rest of cell lines panel that ranged from 1.24 to 4.44 μM. However, the exact mechanism of cellular anticancer activity of these compounds was not fully described but still a material for future investigation. |
