Abstract: A series of 4-anilino-3-cyano-6,7-dialkoxyquinolines with different substituents attached to the 4-anilino group has been prepared that are potent MEK (MAP kinase kinase) inhibitors. The best activity is obtained when a phenyl or a thienyl group is attached to the para-position of the aniline through a hydrophobic linker, such as an oxygen, a sulfur, or a methylene group. The most active compounds show low nanomolar IC(50)'s against MEK (MAP kinase kinase), and have potent growth inhibitory activity in LoVo cells (human colon tumor line).
