Abstract

A set of analogues of FRF401 were designed and synthesized, and their FGFR4 inhibition and antitumor activity as well as the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies were screened. It was found that N-(5-cyano-4-((2-methoxyethyl)-amino)pyridin-2-yl)-7-formyl-6-((N-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxamido)methyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine-1-carboxamide (8ac) not only showed superior FGFR4 inhibitory activity compared with FGF401 and excellent selectivity in enzymatic and cellular level, but also dramatically inhibited tumor growth and induced tumor regression in hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft model.
