Abstract

The clinical emergence of diverse c-MET mutations with resistance to approved inhibitors has created an urgent demand for next-generation inhibitors with efficacy against c-MET-resistant mutations while maintaining c-MET wild-type (WT) potency, selectivity over other kinases, and brain penetration. Here, we report a novel chemical series discovered through iterative core enumeration and decoration…
