To develop RAF/VEGFR2 inhibitors that bind to the inactive DFG-out conformation, we conducted structure-based drug design using the X-ray cocrystal structures of BRAF, starting from an imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivative. We designed various [5,6]-fused bicyclic scaffolds (ring A, 1-6) possessing an anilide group that forms two hydrogen bond interactions with Cys532. Stabilizing the planarity of this anilide and the nitrogen atom on the six-membered ring of the scaffold was critical for enhancing BRAF inhibition. The selected [1,3]thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine derivative 6d showed potent inhibitory activity in both BRAF and VEGFR2. Solid dispersion formulation of 6d (6d-SD) maximized its oral absorption in rats and showed significant suppression of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in an A375 melanoma xenograft model in rats by single administration. Tumor regression (T/C = -7.0%) in twice-daily repetitive studies at a dose of 50 mg/kg in rats confirmed that 6d is a promising RAF/VEGFR2 inhibitor showing potent anticancer activity.

As an alternative to the previously reported solid dispersion formulation for enhancing the oral absorption of thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine 1, we investigated novel N-acyl imide prodrugs of 1 as RAF/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) inhibitors. Introducing N-acyl promoieties at the benzanilide position gave chemically stable imides. N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl (Boc) introduced imide 6 was a promising prodrug, which was converted to the active compound 1 after its oral administration in mice. Cocrystals of 6 with AcOH (6b) possessed good physicochemical properties with moderate thermodynamic solubility (19 μg/mL). This crystalline prodrug 6b was rapidly and enzymatically converted into 1 after its oral absorption in mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys. Prodrug 6b showed in vivo antitumor regressive efficacy (T/C = -6.4%) in an A375 melanoma xenograft model in rats. Hence, we selected 6b as a promising candidate and are performing further studies. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel imide-type prodrugs.
