Abstract

N-Benzylanilines were designed and synthesized as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-2 inhibitors using de novo drug design systems based on the X-ray structure of VEGFR-2 kinase domain. Among compounds synthesized, compound showed the most potent inhibitory activity toward VEGFR-2 (KDR) tyrosine kinase and its IC(50) value was 0.57 microM.
