Discovery of [7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-methylbenzo [1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-[4-(2-pyrrolidin-1-ylethoxy)phenyl]amine--a potent, orally active Src kinase inhibitor with anti-tumor activity in preclinical assays.

We describe the identification of [7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-methylbenzo [1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-[4-(2-pyrrolidin-1-ylethoxy)phenyl]amine (3), a potent, orally active Src inhibitor with desirable PK properties, demonstrated activity in human tumor cell lines and in animal models of tumor growth.
