Abstract
The strategy of inhibiting angiogenesis, specifically by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), has been proven effective in tumor treatment. In this study, we designed several VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors based on an indazole scaffold. Among them, the most potent compound, 30, inhibits VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 1.24 nM) with subtle selectivity over other kinases. It demonstrates significant inhibitory activity against HUVEC angiogenesis and inhibits cell migration in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, it exhibits low acute toxicity in mice. In vivo studies, compound 30 demonstrates favorable pharmacokinetic profiles. It suppresses tumor angiogenesis in the zebrafish subintestinal vessel model, indicating that it may be a potential angiogenesis inhibitor for further development.
