According to the classical pharmacophore fusion strategy, a series of 6-arylureido-4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives (Compounds 7a–t) were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated by the standard CCK-8 method and enzyme inhibition assay. Among the title compounds, Compounds 7a, 7c, 7d, 7f, 7i, 7o, 7p, and 7q exhibited promising anti-proliferative bioactivities, especially Compound 7i, which had excellent antitumor activity against the A549, HT-29, and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 = 2.25, 1.72, and 2.81?μM, respectively) compared with gefitinib, erlotinib, and sorafenib. In addition, the enzyme activity inhibition assay indicated that the synthesized compounds had sub-micromolar inhibitory levels (IC50, 11.66–867.1?nM), which was consistent with the results of the tumor cell line growth inhibition tests. By comparing the binding mechanisms of Compound 7i (17.32?nM), gefitinib (25.42?nM), and erlotinib (33.25?nM) to the EGFR, it was found that Compound 7i could extend into the effective region with a similar action conformation to that of gefitinib and interact with residues L85, D86, and R127, increasing the binding affinity of Compound 7i to the EGFR. Based on the molecular hybridization strategy, 14 compounds with EGFR inhibitory activity were designed and synthesized, and the action mechanism was explored through computational approaches, providing valuable clues for the research of antitumor agents based on EGFR inhibitors.

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.

In this study, a series of 4-aniline quinazoline derivatives bearing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donors were designed, synthesized and evaluated for biological activities. The synthesized compounds were screened for the enzymatic activities against EGFR and EGFR mutants by kinase target-based cell screening method. The results demonstrate that most compounds exhibit selectively inhibitory activities against TEL-EGFR-L858R–BaF3, especially compound 9h with GI50 = 0.008 μM (TEL-EGFR-L858R–BaF3), 0.0069 μM (TEL-EGFR-C797S–BaF3), >10 μM (BaF3), >10 μM (TEL-EGFR-BaF3) and 6.03 μM (TEL-EGFR-T790M-L858R–BaF3). The results from anti-proliferative assays in two NSCLC cell lines indicate that synthetic derivatives (9g, 9h, 15e and 15f) with H2S donor ACS81 display greater anti-proliferative potency against NSCLC cell line H3255 bearing EGFR mutant (L858R) with GI50 values ranging from 0.3486 to 1.348 μM. In addition, compound 9h exhibits weak anti-proliferative effects on other tumor cells (HepG2, MCF-7, HT-29 and A431) and has lower toxic effect on HUVEC cells than AZD9291 (positive control). Meanwhile, compound 9h inhibits the phosphorylation of EGFR in H3255 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis reveals that compound 9h suppresses the proliferation of cells by inducing cell cycle arrest in G0-G1 phase. The result of H2S release evaluation suggests that the H2S release of compound 9h is significantly more and faster than other compounds.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway has been previously investigated for its significant role in the progression of different types of malignant tumors, where development of small molecules targeting EGFR is well known strategy for design of antitumor agents. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of two series of 6-(2-substitutedacetamido)-4-anilinoquinazolines (6a-x and 13a-d) as EGFR inhibitors. All the newly synthesized quinazoline derivatives were in vitro evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity towards MCF-7 (Breast Cancer) and HepG2 (Hepatocellular carcinoma) cell lines. In particular, compound 6n showed significant inhibitory activity against MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines (IC50 = 3 and 16 μM, respectively), compared to that of Erlotinib (IC50 = 20 and 25 μM, respectively). Western blotting of 6n at MCF-7 cell line revealed the dual inhibitory activity of 6n towards diminishing the phosphorylated levels for EGFR and ERK. Also, ELISA assay confirmed the anti-EGFR activity of compound 6n (IC50 = 0.037 μM). Finally, a molecular docking study showed the potential binding mode of 6n within the ATP catalytic binding site of EGFR, exhibiting similar binding mode to EGFR inhibitor Erlotinib.

The activation of the NF-κB transcription factor is a major adaptive response induced upon treatment with EGFR kinase inhibitors, leading to the emergence of resistance in nonsmall cell lung cancer and other tumor types. To suppress this survival mechanism, we developed new thiourea quinazoline derivatives that are dual inhibitors of both EGFR kinase and the NF-κB activity. Optimization of the hit compound, identified in a NF-κB reporter gene assay, led to compound 9b, exhibiting a cellular IC50 for NF-κB inhibition of 0.3 μM while retaining a potent EGFR kinase inhibition (IC50 = 60 nM). The dual inhibitors showed a higher potency than gefitinib to inhibit cell growth of EGFR-overexpressing tumor cell lines in vitro and in a xenograft model in vivo, while no signs of toxicity were observed. An investigation of the molecular mechanism of NF-κB suppression revealed that the dual inhibitors depleted the transcriptional coactivator CREB-binding protein from the NF-κB complex in the nucleus.

A series of novel compounds with phosphoramide mustard functionality incorporated into the quinazoline scaffold of EGFR/HER2 inhibitors were designed and synthesized as multi-target-directed ligands against tumor cells. In?vitro assays showed that tumor cell lines with high HER2 level were more sensitive to the compounds than tumor cells with low HER2 level. Compound 10d (EMB-3) was one of the most potent inhibitors with IC50of 7.4?nM and 82?nM against EGFR and HER2, respectively. The mechanism studies were also supported by the effect of 10d-induced DNA damage in MDA-MB-468?cells. In?vivo efficacy study showed that 10d could significantly inhibit H522 tumor xenograft model with a TGI of 68% at dose of 100?mg/kg (QDx28, p.o.) and no significant body weight loss was observed. MTD study indicated that compound 10d had no acute toxicity to mice at doses up to 900?mg/kg (single dose).

In this study, a series of 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives bearing amino acid moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated for biological activities. The synthesized compounds were screened for anticancer activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell HepG2 using SRB assay. In?vitro cell growth inhibition assays indicated that compound 6m exhibited moderate inhibitory activities only against human hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2 with IC50 of 8.3?μM. Synthetic derivatives showed excellent selectivity, such as compound 6m demonstrated a strong inhibition of EGFR (IC50?=?0.0032?μM), with selectivity of over 2000-fold over other kinases. Apoptosis analysis revealed that compound 6m caused obvious induction of cell apoptosis. 6m significantly down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated the expression of Bax, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), promoted the mitochondrial cytochrome c release into the cytoplasm, activated caspase-3, and finally induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Molecular docking indicated that compound 6m could bind well with EGFR. Therefore, compound 6m may be a potential agent for cancer therapy deserving further research.

A new series of 4-anilinoquinazolines with C-6 ureido and thioureido side chains and various substituents at the C-4 anilino moiety was designed, synthesized and evaluated as wild type (WT) and mutant EGFR inhibitors. Most of the compounds inhibited EGFR kinase wild type (EGFR WT) with IC50values in the low nanomolar range (50?=?1.76–2.38?μM) in these mutant lines and significant Her2 enzyme inhibition (IC50?=?19.2–40.6?nM) compared to lapatinib (60.1?nM). The Binding mode of compounds 6d, 6f, 7a, 7b and 8b were demonstrated. Furthermore, growth inhibition against gefitinib insensitive cell lines PC9-GR4 (Del19/T790M) were tested, compounds 6f and 7e showed about eight and three folds respectively greater potency than gefitinib. Our structure–activity relationships (SAR) studies suggested that presence of ethyl piperidino urea/thiourea at 6-position and bulky group of (3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)phenyl)amino at 4-position of quinazoline may serve as promising scaffold for developing inhibitors against wild type and mutant EGFR.
