Kinase profiling of one compound revealed interesting features, with increased inhibitory potency towards FLT3 and concomitant loss of potency towards FMS. Several benzimidazole derivatives 5a¨C5g and 6a¨C6c containing various hydrophobic moieties were synthesised, and their inhibitory activity against FLT3 was evaluated. Specifically, 5a, 5-methyl-N-(2-(3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-yl) isoxazole-4-carboxamide, exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against FLT3 (IC50 = 495£¿nM), with excellent selectivity profiles %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14756366.2019.1671837
