Abstract

A series of novel 4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives containing niacinamide moiety as potential V600E mutant BRAF kinase (BRAF(V600E)) inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Results of the bioassays against BRAF(V600E) and WM266.4 human melanoma cell line showed several compounds to be endowed potent activities with IC(50) and GI(50) value in low micromolar range, among which compound 27e, (5-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)6-methylpyridin-3-yl methanone (IC(50)=0.20 μM, GI(50)=0.89 μM) was bearing the best bioactivity comparable with the positive control Sorafenib. Docking simulation was performed to determine the probable binding model and 3D-QSAR model was built to provide more pharmacophore understanding that could use to design new agents with more potent BRAF(V600E) inhibitory activity.
