Tertiary C797S mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated resistance in non-small-cell-lung-cancer (NSCLC) patients is still an unmet clinical need. Several classes of adenosine 5'-triphosphate-competitive or allosteric EGFR inhibitors and degraders have been developed, but none of them have received approval from the regulatory agencies. Herein, we report the structure-based design of conformational constrained 4-(1-ethylsufonyl-3-indolyl)-2-phenylaminopyrimidines as new EGFR inhibitors by using a macrocyclization strategy. Representative compound potently inhibited EGFR and EGFR mutants with IC values of 15.8 and 23.6 nM and suppressed Ba/F3-EGFR and Ba/F3-EGFR cells with IC values of 0.036 and 0.052 μM, respectively, which is 10-20-fold more potent than brigatinib. also potently inhibited the EGFR-mutated PC-9-OR NSCLC cell proliferation with an IC value of 0.644 μM but was less potent for parental Ba/F3 and A431 cells. This study provides a new lead compound for drug discovery to combat EGFR-mediated resistance in NSCLC patients.
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)介导的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的三级C797S突变仍然是未满足的临床需求。已经开发了几类三磷酸腺苷竞争性或变构EGFR抑制剂和降解剂,但它们都未获得监管机构的批准。在此,我们报告了通过大环化策略基于结构设计的构象受限的4-(1-乙基磺酰基-3-吲哚基)-2-苯基氨基嘧啶作为新型EGFR抑制剂。代表性化合物 有效抑制EGFR和EGFR突变体,IC值分别为15.8和23.6 nM,并分别以0.036和0.052 μM的IC值抑制Ba/F3-EGFR和Ba/F3-EGFR细胞,其效力比布加替尼高10-20倍。 还以0.644 μM的IC值有效抑制EGFR突变的PC-9-OR NSCLC细胞增殖,但对亲本Ba/F3和A431细胞的效力较低。本研究为药物发现提供了一种新的先导化合物,以对抗NSCLC患者中EGFR介导的耐药性。
