Abstract

A series of 1,3,5-triazinic inhibitors of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has recently been shown to exert antiangiogenic activity against HUVEC cells and Anticancer efficacy against several Cancer cell lines. In this report, we designed and synthesized a series of new compounds containing a 1,2,4-triazine core as novel scaffold for FAK inhibitors. These compounds displayed 10-7M IC50 values, and the best one showed IC50 value of 0.23μM against FAK enzymatic activity. Among them, several inhibitors potently inhibited the proliferation of glioblastoma (U-87MG) and colon (HCT-116) Cancer cell lines. Docking of compound 10 into the active site of the FAK kinase was performed to explore its potential binding mode.
