Design, Synthesis, In Vitro Biological Evaluation, and In Silico Studies of Novel Imidazo[4,5-b]Pyridine-Acrylonitrile-Based Derivatives as VEGFR-2 Inhibitors Against Breast Cancer and Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is a vital mediator of angiogenesis. Therefore, VEGFR-2 inhibition is considered a promising therapeutic target to combat cancer. In the present study, a series of 22 imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-acrylonitrile-based derivatives was designed and synthesized. All compound...
