Inspired by bioactive indoline alkaloid natural products, here, we report a divergent synthesis approach that led to skeletally diverse indoline alkaloid-inspired compounds. The natural product-inspired compounds obtained were then subjected to a series of in vitro and cellular assays to examine their properties as modulators of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity. This study resulted in the identification of a promising lead inhibitor of FAK (42), which also showed activity in a wound healing and cell invasion assay. The in silico study of the lead compound (42) was also undertaken. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
