description A series of tepotinib derivatives with two chiral centers was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as anticancer agents. The optimal compound <b>(<i>R</i>, <i>S</i>)-12a</b> strongly exhibited antiproliferative activity against MHCC97H cell lines with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 0.002 μM, compared to tepotinib (IC<sub>50</sub> = 0.013 μM). Mechanistic studies revealed that compound <b>(<i>R, S</i>)-12a</b> significantly inhibited c-Met activation, as well as the downstream AKT signaling pathway, and suppressed wound closure. Moreover, compound <b>(<i>R, S</i>)-12a</b> induced cellular apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at the G<sub>1</sub> phase in a dose-dependent fashion.
