Deregulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Met has been implicated in several human cancers and is an attractive target for small molecule drug discovery. Herein, we report the discovery of a structurally diverse series of carbon-linked quinoline triazolopyridinones, which demonstrates nanomolar inhibition of c-Met kinase activity. This novel series of inhibitors exhibits favorable pharmacokinetics as well as potent inhibition of HGF-mediated c-Met phosphorylation in a mouse liver pharmacodynamic model.
