In this study, we described the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 1,3-diaryl-pyridones as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) inhibitors. The 1,3-diaryl-pyridones were synthesized via Chan-Lam and Suzuki coupling reactions. Two representative compounds, 17 and 35h, displayed excellent enzymatic inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 3.
