The FGFR family is characterized by four receptors (FGFR 1-4), binding to 18 ligands called fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). Aberrant activation of FGFs and their FGFRs has been implicated in a broad spectrum of human tumors. We employed the scaffolds hybridization approach, scaffold-hopping concept to synthesize a series of novel pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives 56 (a-x). Compound 56q (CPL304110) was identified as a selective and potent pan-FGFR inhibitor for FGFR1, -2, -3 with ICs of 0.75 nM, 0.50 nM, 3.05 nM respectively, whereas IC of 87.90 nM for FGFR4. Due to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile, low toxicity and potent anti-tumor activity in vivo, compound 56q is currently under evaluation in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of bladder, gastric and squamous cell lung cancers (01FGFR2018; NCT04149691).

Activated checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) is a tumor suppressor as one of the main enzymes that affect the cell cycle. 2-Biarylbenzimidazoles are potent selective class of Chk2 inhibitors; the structure-based design was applied to synthesize a new series of this class with replacing the lateral aryl group by substituted pyrazoles. Ten pyrazole-benzimidazole conjugates from the best fifty candidates according to docking programs have been subjected to chemical synthesis in this study.

Novel pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The entire target compounds were determined against cancer cell lines U937, K562, A549, LoVo and HT29 and were screened for Aurora A/B kinase inhibitory activity in vitro. The compounds 7a, 7b, 7i, 7k and 7l demonstrated significant cancer cell lines and Aurora A/B kinase inhibitory activities.
