The use of small molecular modulators to target the guanine nucleotide exchange factor SOS1 has been demonstrated to be a promising strategy for the treatment of various KRAS-driven cancers. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a series of new SOS1 inhibitors with the pyrido[2,3-]pyrimidin-7-one scaffold. One representative compound showed comparable activities to the reported SOS1 inhibitor BI-3406 in both the biochemical assay and the 3-D cell growth inhibition assay. Compound obtained good cellular activities against a panel of KRAS G12-mutated cancer cell lines and inhibited downstream ERK and AKT activation in MIA PaCa-2 and AsPC-1 cells. In addition, it displayed synergistic antiproliferative effects when used in combination with KRAS G12C or G12D inhibitors. Further modifications of the new compounds may give us a promising SOS1 inhibitor with favorable druglike properties for use in the treatment of KRAS-mutated patients.
使用小分子调节剂靶向鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子SOS1已被证明是治疗各种KRAS驱动癌症的一种有前景的策略。在本研究中,我们设计并合成了一系列具有吡啶并[2,3 -]嘧啶 - 7 - 酮骨架的新型SOS1抑制剂。一种代表性化合物在生化测定和3D细胞生长抑制测定中显示出与报道的SOS1抑制剂BI - 3406相当的活性。化合物对一组KRAS G12突变癌细胞系具有良好的细胞活性,并在MIA PaCa - 2和AsPC - 1细胞中抑制下游ERK和AKT激活。此外,当与KRAS G12C或G12D抑制剂联合使用时,它显示出协同抗增殖作用。对新化合物的进一步修饰可能会为我们提供一种有前景的SOS1抑制剂,其具有良好的类药性质,可用于治疗KRAS突变患者。
