Abstract

Subsequent to the discovery of 4-[(2, 4-dichlorophenyl) amino]-6, 7-dimethoxy-3- quinolinecarbonitrile (1a) as an inhibitor of Src kinase activity (IC50= 30 nM), several additional analogues were prepared. Optimization of the C-4 anilino group of 1a led to 1c, which contains a 2, 4-dichloro-5-methoxy-substituted aniline. Replacement of the methoxy group at C-7 of 1c with a 3-(morpholin-4-yl) propoxy group provided 2c, resulting in ...
