Gatekeeper T790M mutation in EGFR is the most common factor for acquired resistance. Acrylamide-bearing 4-anilinoquinazoline scaffold are powerful irreversible inhibitors for overcoming resistance. In this work, three series of EGFR inhibitors derived from incorporation of cinnamamide into the quinazoline scaffold were designed and synthesized to reverse resistance resulting from insurgence of T790M mutation. SAR studies revealed that methoxy and acetoxy substitutions on the cinnamic phenyl ring were found to elevate the activity. In particular, compound 7g emerged as the most potent derivative against mutant-type H1975 cells, which exhibited comparable activity to osimertinib (0.95 μM) towards H1975 cells with an IC50 value of 1.22 μM. Kinase inhibition studies indicated that 7g showed excellent inhibitory effect on EGFRT790M enzyme, which was 11 times more effective than gefitinib. Besides, selectivity index of 7g toward the EGFRT790M mutant over the EGFRWT is 2.72, hinting its effect of reducing off-target. Mechanism study indicated that 7g induced apoptosis of H1975 cells and arrest the cell cycle at G2/M phase in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, 7g could significantly inhibit the expression of p-EGFR and its downstream p-AKT and p-ERK in H1975 cells. Molecular docking was also performed to gain insights into the ligand-binding interactions of 7g inside EGFRWT and EGFRT790M binding sites.

A series of N-mustard-quinazoline conjugates was synthesized and subjected to antitumor studies. The N-mustard pharmacophore was attached at the C-6 of the 4-anilinoquinazolines via a urea linker. To study the structure-activity relationships of these conjugates, various substituents were introduced to the C-4 anilino moiety. The preliminary antitumor studies revealed that these agents exhibited significant antitumor activity in inhibiting various human tumor cell growths in vitro. Compounds 21b, 21g, and 21h were selected for further antitumor activity evaluation against human breast carcinoma MX-1 and prostate PC-3 xenograft in animal model. These agents showed 54-75% tumor suppression with low toxicity (5-7% body-weight changes). We also demonstrate that the newly synthesized compounds are able to induce DNA cross-linking through alkaline agarose gel shift assay and inhibited cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase.
