Abstract

Substituted 4-(3-hydroxyanilino)-quinoline compounds, initially identified as small-molecule inhibitors of src family kinases, have been evaluated as potential inhibitors of RET kinase. Three compounds, 38, 31, and 40, had Ki's of 3, 25, and 50 nM in an in vitro kinase assay; while a cell based kinase assay showed Ki's of 300, 100, and 45 nM, respectively. These compounds represent potential new leads for the treatment of medullary and papillary thyroid cancer.
