RESUMEN
The SAR and improvement in potency against Tie2 of novel thienopyrimidine and thiazolopyrimidine kinase inhibitors are reported. The crystal structure of one of these compounds bound to the Tie-2 kinase domain is consistent with the SAR. These compounds have moderate potency in cellular assays of Tie-2 inhibition, good physical properties, DMPK, and show evidence of in vivo inhibition of Tie-2.

Tie-2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase which is involved in angiogenesis and thereby growth of human tumours. The discovery and SAR of a novel class of imidazole-vinyl-pyrimidine kinase inhibitors, which inhibit Tie-2 in vitro is reported. Their synthesis was carried out by condensation of imidazole aldehydes with methyl pyrimidines. These compounds are lead-like, with low molecular weight, good physical properties and oral bioavailability.
