PubMed Abstract: 
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), a subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases, are aberrant in various cancer types, and considered to be promising targets for cancer therapy. We started with a weak-active compound that was identified from our internal hepatocyte growth factor receptor (also called c-Met) inhibitor project, and optimized it with the guidance of a co-crystal structure of compound 8 with FGFR1. Through rational design, synthesis, and the biological evaluation of a series of 5 H -pyrrolo[2,3- b ]pyrazine derivatives, we discovered several potent FGFR kinase inhibitors. Among them, compound 13 displayed high selectivity and favorable metabolic properties, demonstrating a promising lead for further development.
