4-[3-Chloro-4-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylsulfanyl)]anilino-6, 7-diethoxy-3-quinolinecarbonitrile (3) was identified as a MEK1 kinase inhibitor with exceptional activity against LoVo cells. The structure-activity relationships of the C-4 aniline substituents were explored, and water-solubilizing groups were added at the C-7 position to improve physical properties. Secondary cellular assays revealed that a compound possessing the appropriate aniline substituents inhibited MEK1 as well as MAPK phosphorylation, thereby acting as a dual inhibitor of the Ras-MAPK signaling cascade.
