title: Synthesis and biological study of 4-aminopyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde oximes as antiproliferative VEGFR-2 inhibitors.
abstract: A novel 4-aminopyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde oxime scaffold with inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2 kinase has been identified. With a 4-fluoro-2-methylindol-5-yloxy group at the 6-position and alkyl groups as the oxime side chains, many analogues showed good potency for VEGFR-2. This series also exhibited antiproliferative activity against cancer cells, causing cell accumulation at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and preventing cells from entering mitosis. Described here are the chemistry, structure-activity relationships (SAR), and biological testing for this series.
