Abstract

The FGFR family is characterized by four receptors (FGFR 1-4), binding to 18 ligands called fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). Aberrant activation of FGFs and their FGFRs has been implicated in a broad spectrum of human tumors. We employed the scaffolds hybridization approach, scaffold-hopping concept to synthesize a series of novel pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives 56 (a-x). Compound 56q (CPL304110) was identified as a selective and potent pan-FGFR inhibitor for FGFR1, -2, -3 with IC50s of 0.75nM, 0.50nM, 3.05nM respectively, whereas IC50 of 87.90nM for FGFR4. Due to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile, low toxicity and potent anti-tumor activity invivo, compound 56q is currently under evaluation in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of bladder, gastric and squamous cell lung cancers (01FGFR2018; NCT04149691).
