RESUMO
A series of 2,4-diarylaminopyrimidine derivatives bearing hydrophilic hydroxamic acids were designed and synthesized as potent EGFRT790M/L858R inhibitors. Among the derivatives synthesized, 10c (IC50 = 5.192 nM), 10j (IC50 = 10.35 nM), and 10o (IC50 = 0.3524 nM) exhibited higher potencies against EGFRT790/M/L858R compared to the known EGFR inhibitor AZD-9291 (IC50 = 20.80 nM). Moreover, 10j showed moderate activity against H1975 cells transfected with the EGFRT790M/L858R mutant, with an IC50 of 0.2113 µM over A431 (wild-type EGFR, SI = 47.3). In addition, 10j exhibited low toxicity in normal HBE cells (human bronchial epithelial cells, IC50 > 40 µΜ). Analysis of the mode of action indicated that 10j effectively induced apoptosis in H1975 cells by arresting the cells in the G2/M phase. Compound 10j also demonstrated efficacy in inhibiting tumor growth in a H1975 xenograft mouse model without losing body weight or killing the mice. Taken together, these results suggested that 10j might be a promising candidate for development as a potential treatment for NSCLC harboring the EGFRT790M/L858R mutation.

Potential new EGFRT790M inhibitors comprised of structurally modified diphenylpyrimidine derivatives bearing a morpholine functionality (Mor-DPPYs) were used to improve the activity and selectivity of gefitinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This led to the identification of inhibitor 10c, which displayed high activity against EGFRT790M/L858R kinase (IC50 = 0.71 nM) and repressed H1975 cell replication harboring EGFRT790M mutations at a concentration of 0.037 µM. Inhibitor 10c demonstrated high selectivity (SI = 631.9) for T790M-containing EGFR mutants over wild type EGFR, suggesting that it will cause less side effects. Moreover, this compound also shows promising antitumor efficacy in a murine EGFRT790M/L858R-driven H1975 xenograft model without affecting body weight. This study provides new potential lead compounds for further development of anti-NSCLC drugs.
