Abstract

Driven by a multidisciplinary approach combination (Structure-Based (SB) Three-Dimensional Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (3-D QSAR), molecular modeling, organic chemistry and various biological evaluations) here is reported the disclosure of new thienopyrimidines 1-3 as inhibitors of KDR activity and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation. More specifically, compound 2f represents a new lead compound that inhibits VEGFR-2 and HUVEC at μM concentration. Moreover by the mean of an endothelial cell tube formation in vitro model 2f tartaric acid salt proved to block angiogenesis of HUVEC at μM level.
