Substituting a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom (nitrogen substitution) on an aromatic ring in our leads I and II (X8 = X9 = CH) by applying nitrogen scanning afforded a set of compounds that improved not only the solubility but also the metabolic stability. The impact after nitrogen substitution on interactions between a derivative and its on- and off-target proteins (Raf/MEK, CYPs, and hERG channel) was also detected with most of them contributing to weaker interactions. After identifying the positions that kept inhibitory activity on HCT116 cell growth and Raf/MEK, compound II (X8 = X9 = N) (CH5126766/RO5126766) was selected as a clin. compound A phase I clin. trial is ongoing for solid cancers.
