Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Mar 15;16(6):1579-81. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.12.045. Epub 2005 Dec 28.

Abstract

A novel class of 1-(isoquinolin-5-yl)-4-arylamino-phthalazines is described as inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor II (VEGFR-2). Many compounds display VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity with an IC(50) as low as 0.017 microM in an HTRF enzymatic assay. The compounds also inhibit VEGFR-1, a related tyrosine kinase.
