Discovery of an Orally Efficacious Imidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazine Dual Inhibitor of IGF-1R and IR.

This report describes the investigation of a series of 5,7-disubstituted imidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazine inhibitors of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor (IR). Structure-activity relationship exploration and optimization leading to the identification, characterization, and pharmacological activity of compound 9b, a potent, selective, well-tolerated, and orally bioavailable dual inhibitor of IGF-1R and IR with in vivo efficacy in tumor xenograft models, is discussed.
