Publication Abstract from PubMed

Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death. A series of 2-amino-2, 3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel selective DDR1 inhibitors to exhibit promising in vitro and in vivo anti-pancreatic cancer activity. One of the representative compounds, 7f, binds with DDR1 with a Kd value of 5.9 nM and suppresses the kinase activity with an IC50 value of 14.9 nM, but is significantly less potent for majority of a panel of 403 wild-type kinases. The compound potently inhibited collagen-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and dose-dependently suppressed colony formation of pancreatic cancer cells. Furthermore, 7f also demonstrated reasonable pharmacokinetic profiles and displayed promising in vivo therapeutic efficacy in an orthotopic mouse model of pancreatic cancer. Compound 7f may serve as a new lead compound for future drug discovery.
