Design, synthesis, and in silico insights of novel N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)piperidine-4-carbohydrazide derivatives as VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a crucial key factor in breast tumorigenesis. VEGF plays an important role in angiogenesis, tumor proliferation, and metastasis. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of twenty-one novel piperidine/oxindole derivatives as potential VEGFR-2 inhibitors.
