The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key target in anticancer research, whose aberrant function in malignancies has been linked to severe irregularities in critical cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. EGFR mutant variants, either transmembrane or translocated to the mitochondria and/or the nucleus, often exhibit resistance to EGFR inhibitors. The ability to noninvasively image and quantify EGFR provides novel approaches in the detection, monitoring, and treatment of EGFR-related malignancies. The current study aimed to deliver a new theranostic agent that combines fluorescence imaging properties with EGFR inhibition. This was achieved via conjugation of an in-house-developed ((4-bromophenyl)amino)quinazoline inhibitor of mutant EGFR-TK, selected from a focused aminoquinazoline library, with a [Ru(bipyridine)3]2+ fluorophore. A triethyleneglycol-derived diamino linker featuring (+)-ionizable sites was employed to link the two functional moieties, affording two unprecedented Ru conjugates with 1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometry of aminoquinazoline to the Ru complex (mono-quinazoline-Ru-conjugate and bis-quinazoline-Ru-conjugate, respectively). The bis-quinazoline-Ru-conjugate, which retains an essential inhibitory activity, was found by fluorescence imaging to be effectively uptaken by Uppsala 87 malignant glioma (grade IV malignant glioma) cells. The fluorescence imaging study and a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer study indicated a specific subcellular distribution of the conjugate that coincides with that of a mitochondria-targeted dye, suggesting mitochondrial localization of the conjugate and potential association with mitochondria-translocated forms of EGFR. Mitochondrial localization was further documented by the specific concentration of the bis-quinazoline-Ru-conjugate in a mitochondrial isolation assay.

Erythropoietin-producing human hepatocellular carcinoma (Eph) receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) regulate a variety of dynamic cellular events, including cell protrusion, migration, proliferation, and cell-fate determination. Small-molecule inhibitors of Eph kinases are valuable tools for dissecting the physiological and pathological roles of Eph. However, there is a lack of small-molecule inhibitors that are selective for individual Eph isoforms due to the high homology within the family. Herein, we report the development of the first potent and specific inhibitors of a single Eph isoform, EphB3. Through structural bioinformatic analysis, we identified a cysteine in the hinge region of the EphB3 kinase domain, a feature that is not shared with any other human kinases. We synthesized and characterized a series of electrophilic quinazolines to target this unique, reactive feature in EphB3. Some of the electrophilic quinazolines selectively and potently inhibited EphB3 both in vitro and in cells. Cocrystal structures of EphB3 in complex with two quinazolines confirmed the covalent linkage between the protein and the inhibitors. A "clickable" version of an optimized inhibitor was created and employed to verify specific target engagement in the whole proteome and to probe the extent and kinetics of target engagement of existing EphB3 inhibitors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the autophosphorylation of EphB3 within the juxtamembrane region occurs in trans using a specific inhibitor. These exquisitely specific inhibitors will facilitate the dissection of EphB3's role in various biological processes and disease contribution.
