Inhibition of VEGFR-2 signaling pathway has already become one of the most promising approaches for the treatment of cancer. In this study, we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of O-linked indoles as potent inhibitors of VEGFR-2. Among these compounds, 18 showed significant anti-angiogenesis activities via VEGFR-2 in enzymatic proliferation assays, with IC₅₀ value of 3.8 nmol/L. Kinase selectivity profiling revealed that 18 was a multitargeted inhibitor, and it also exhibited good potency against VEGFR-1, PDGFR-α and β.
