The general class of 4-(phenylamino)quinazolines are potent (some members with IC50 values 40 mM) and retention of overall inhibitory activity (IC50's of 0.5-10 nM against isolated enzyme and 8-40 nM for inhibition of EGFR autophosphorylation in A431 cells) were weakly basic amine derivatives. These results are broadly consistent with a proposed model for the binding of these compounds to EGFR, in which the 6- and 7-positions of the pyridopyrimidine ring are in a largely hydrophobic binding region of considerable steric freedom, at the entrance of the adenine binding cleft. The most active cationic analogues have a weakly basic side chain where the amine moiety is three or more carbon atoms away from the nucleus. Two of the compounds (bearing weakly basic morpholinopropyl and strongly basic (dimethylamino)butyl solubilizing groups) produced in vivo tumor growth delays of 13-21 days against advanced stage A431 epidermoid xenografts in nude mice, when administered ip twice per day on days 7-21 posttumor implant. Treated tumors did not increase in size during therapy and resumed growth at the termination of therapy, indicating an apparent cytostatic effect for these compounds under these treatment conditions. The data suggest that continuous long-term therapy with these compounds may result in substantial tumor growth inhibition.
