Abstract
A series of novel 3-substituted-5-(4-pyridin-4yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones were designed as inhibitors of angiogenesis targeting VEGFR2. In docking study, all the molecules showed similar way of binding with VEGFR2 as that of the co-crystallised ligand. Compounds were then synthesized, purified and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Further these Compounds were evaluated for their angiogenesis inhibition potential using CAM and zebrafish assay. Compound 3i and 3j were found to be most active in the series showing good inhibition of angiogenesis in both CAM and in zebrafish embryo assays. The compound 3i was the most active in the series with IC50 of 0.5 μM for VEGR-2.
