A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives against c-Met was designed by means of bioisosteric replacement. In this study, a selective, potent c-Met inhibitor, 22e was identified, with IC50 values of 3.9 nM against c-Met kinase and 45.0 nM against c-Met-addicted EBC-1 cell proliferation, respectively. Compound 22e inhibited c-Met phosphorylation and downstream signaling across different oncogenic forms in c-Met overactivated cancer cells and model cells. Compound 22e significantly inhibited tumor growth (TGI = 75%) with good oral bioavailability (F = 29%) and no significant hERG inhibition. On the basis of systematic metabolic study, the pathway of all possible metabolites of 22e in liver microsomes of different species has been proposed, and a major NADPH-dependent metabolite 33 was generated by liver microsomes. To block the metabolic site, 42 was designed and synthesized for further evaluation. Taken together, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffold showed promising pharmacological inhibition of c-Met and warrants further investigation.
