Abstract
The Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR-1) is a tyrosine kinase and a validated target for the treatment of different cancer types. Design and synthesis of novel thiazole-based analogues of anticancer agents. Series of 2-aryl-5-methylthiazole analogues linked to structurally variable basic heads were synthesized as novel anticancer agents. Developed compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activities against several cancer cell lines. Many analogues exhibited strong antiproliferative activities against breast cancer cell lines, with higher potency towards the highly metastatic form (MDA-MB-231). Pharmacophoric profiling using an in-house pharmacophore database identified FGFR-1 as a molecular target of active analogues. Synthesized compounds were bio-assayed for their FGFR-1 inhibitory activities and many hits exhibited IC50 values in the low micromolar to nanomolar range The 2-aryl-5-methylthiazole linked to a basic head is a novel chemical scaffold of ATP-competitive inhibitor of FGFR-1 with potential therapeutic activities against different types of cancer.
