Aberrant FGF19/FGFR4 signaling has been shown to be an oncogenic driver of growth and survival in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with several pan-FGFR inhibitors and FGFR4-selective inhibitors currently being evaluated in the clinic. However, FGFR4 gatekeeper mutation induced acquired resistance remains an unmet clinical challenge for HCC treatment. Thus, a series of aminoindazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as new irreversible inhibitors of wild-type and gatekeeper mutant FGFR4. One representative compound () exhibited excellent potency against FGFR4, FGFR4, and FGFR4 with nanomolar activity in both the biochemical and cellular assays while sparing FGFR1/2/3. While compound demonstrated modest antitumor efficacy in nude mice bearing the Huh-7 xenograft model consistent with its unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties, it provides a promising new starting point for future drug discovery combating FGFR4 gatekeeper mediated resistance in HCC patients.

[M(arene)(HQ)Cl] complexes (M = Ru/Os/Rh/Ir; HQ = 8-hydroxyquinoline) have shown promise as anticancer agents. To assess the effect of conjugating biotin (vitamin B7) to such compounds and improve their tumor-targeting ability through interaction with the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT), the chlorido co-ligand was exchanged with biotinylated 6-aminoindazole. The complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and purity was determined by elemental analysis.

The first synthesis of 3,4-diarylpyrimido[1,2-]indazole derivatives from 3-aminoindazoles has been realized. The FeCl-catalyzed intermolecular epoxide ring-opening reaction altered the order of annulation, with the free primary NH groups in 3-aminoindazoles preferentially reacting with styrene oxides instead of aromatic aldehydes. This protocol is further highlighted by its broad substrate compatibility, high chemo- and regioselectivities, and the late-stage modifications of bioactive molecules.

A new series of trifluoromethylated pyrimido[1,2-]indazol-4(1)-one derivatives was synthesized with good to excellent yields through a simple condensation of 3-aminoindazole derivatives with ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro 3-oxobutanoate. The functionalization of the corresponding chlorinated fused tricyclic scaffolds via Suzuki-Miyaura and aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions led to the synthesis of highly diverse trifluoromethylated pyrimido[1,2-]indazole derivatives with good yields.

Impaired locomotion has been extensively studied worldwide because those afflicted with it have a potential risk of becoming bedridden. Physical exercise at times can be an effective remedy for frailty, but exercise therapy cannot be applied in all clinical cases. Medication is safer than exercise, but there are no drugs that reinforce both muscle and bone when administered alone.

A novel and efficient three-component reaction with two C-N bonds and one C-F bond formation has been reported, which provides a straightforward route to a variety of fluorinated pyrimido[1,2-]indazole derivatives. This transformation has the advantage of excellent functional group compatibility, including aliphatic and aromatic substituents enaminones. Moreover, metal and additives are not necessary for this reaction, which is of great significance for the synthesis and application of fluorinated heterocycles.
