Summary: | Based on a structure-activity relationship of compounds such as Sorafenib and Quizartinib, a series of thiazol-urea derivatives containing hydrophilic side moiety were designed and synthesized, aiming to improve the druggability of target compounds. Among them, compound
6h
exhibited the best anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity, especially against HepG2 cells with an IC
50
of 5.62 μM. In addition, compound
6h
was able to suppress the formation of HepG2 colonies. Mechanism studies revealed that compound
6h
effectively inhibited C-RAF/FLT3 kinases. Furthermore, compound
6h
was able to inhibit the rapid proliferation, and exerted marked migration inhibitory effects on HepG2 cells. Moreover, compound
6h
induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and led to cell apoptosis. Besides, ADMET properties prediction showed that compound
6h
had more aqueous solubility than Sorafenib. Collectively, these results suggested that compound
6h
represents a novel C-RAF/FLT3 inhibitor deserving further investigation. |
