N⁴-Aryl-6-substitutedphenylmethyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamines as receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Six novel N(4)-substitutedphenyl-6-substitutedphenylmethyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamines were synthesized as multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors and antitumor agents. An improvement in the inhibitory potency against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) assays and in the A431 cellular proliferation assay was observed for compounds 8-13 over the previously reported 5-7. Three compounds (8, 9 and 13) demonstrated potent, multiple RTK inhibition and were more potent or equipotent compared to the lead compounds 5 and 7 and the standard compounds. Compounds 10 and 12 showed potent inhibition of VEGFR-2 over EGFR, platelet-derived growth factor receptor
