We present a straightforward process for the discovery of novel back pocket-binding fragment molecules against protein tyrosine kinases. The approach begins by screening against the nonphosphorylated target kinase with subsequent counterscreening of hits against the phosphorylated enzyme. Back pocket-binding fragments are inactive against the phosphorylated kinase. Fragment molecules are of insufficient size to span both regions of the ATP binding pocket; thus, the outcome is binary (back pocket-binding or hinge-binding). Next, fragments with the appropriate binding profile are assayed in combination with a known hinge-binding fragment and subsequently with a known back pocket-binding fragment. Confirmation of back pocket-binding by Yonetani-Theorell plot analysis progresses candidate fragments to crystallization trials. The method is exemplified by a fragment screening campaign against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, and a novel back pocket-binding fragment is presented.

The present invention relates to a compound represented by the formula (I’) wherein A is a benzene ring optionally having substituents, R1, R2a and R3 are each a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group optionally having substituents or a heterocyclic group optionally having substituents, R1 and R2a may form a ring via X, when R1 and R2a form a ring via X, R1 and R2a are each a bond or a divalent C1-5 acyclic hydrocarbon group optionally having substituents, and X is a bond, an oxygen atom, an optionally oxidized sulfur atom or an imino group optionally having a substituent, provided that R1, R2a and X are not bonds at the same time, or a salt thereof, and an agent for inhibiting kinase (phosphorylation enzyme), which contains this compound or a prodrug thereof. The compound of the present invention has an inhibitory activity against kinase such as a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and the like, and is useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or threatment of cancer and the like.
