We report a novel VEGFR-2 inhibitor, developed by the back-to-front approach. Docking experiments indicated that the 3-chloromethylphenylurea motif of the lead compound occupied the back pocket of VEGFR-2 kinase. An attempt was made to enhance the binding affinity of 1 by expanding the structure to access the front pocket using a triazole linker. A library of 1, 4-(disubstituted)-1H-1, 2, 3-triazoles were screened in silico, and one ...
