摘要
A novel series of benzhydroxamate esters derived from their precursor anthranilic acids have been prepared and have been identified as potent MEK inhibitors. 2-(2-Chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-N-cyclopropylmethoxy-3,4-difluoro-benzamide, CI-1040, was the first MEK inhibitor to demonstrate in vivo activity in preclinical animal models and subsequently became the first MEK inhibitor to enter clinical trial. CI-1040 suffered however from poor exposure due to its poor solubility and rapid clearance, and as a result, development of the compound was terminated. Optimization of the diphenylamine core and modi. cation of the hydroxamate side chain for cell potency, solubility, and exposure with oral delivery resulted in the discovery of the clinical candidate N-(2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)-3,4-difluoro-2-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenylamino)benzamide PD 0325901.
