Recent clinical reports have highlighted the need for wild-type (WT) and mutant dual inhibitors of c-MET kinase for the treatment of cancer. We report herein a novel chemical series of ATP competitive type-III inhibitors of WT and D1228V mutant c-MET. Using a combination of structure-based drug design and computational analyses, ligand 2 was optimized to a highly selective chemical series with nanomolar activities in biochemical and cellular settings. Representatives of the series demonstrate excellent pharmacokinetic profiles in rat in vivo studies with promising free-brain exposures, paving the way for the design of brain permeable drugs for the treatment of c-MET driven cancers.
