5-Hydroxyindole derivatives have various demonstrated biological activities. Herein, we used 5-hydroxyindole as a synthetic starting point for structural alterations in a combinatorial process to synthesize 22 different compounds with EZH2 inhibitor pharmacophores. A series of 5-hydroxyindole-derived compounds were screened inhibitory activities against K562 cells. According to molecular modeling and in vitro biological activity assays, the preliminary structure-activity relationship was summarized. Compound L–04 improved both the H3K27Me3 reduction and antiproliferation parameters (IC50 = 52.6 μM). These findings revealed that compound L–04 is worthy of consideration as a lead compound to design more potent EZH2 inhibitors. During the preparation of compounds, we discovered that trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) is a novel catalyst which demonstrates condensation-promoting effects. To gain insight into the reaction, in situ React IR technology was used to confirm the reactivity. Different amines were condensed in high yields with β-diketones or β-ketoesters in the presence of TCCA to afford the corresponding products in a short time (10~20 min), which displayed some advantages and provided an alternative condensation strategy.

Two series of new 6-alkoxy-4-substituted-aminoquinazolines (2-4f) and their bioisoteric quinoline congeners (5-7c) were designed and synthesized. Virtual screening was carried out through docking the designed compounds into the ATP binding site of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to predict if these compounds have analogous binding mode to the EGFR inhibitors. The newly synthesized compounds were tested in vitro on human breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) in which EGFR is highly expressed. Most of the tested compounds exploited potent antitumor activity with IC50 values in the nanomolar range in particular compound 3b which displayed the highest activity among the tested compounds with IC50 equal to 0.13 nmol.
