Synthesis, activity, and their relationships of 2,4-diaminonicotinamide derivatives as EGFR inhibitors targeting C797S mutation.

ABSTRACT

The C797S mutation is one of the major factors behind resistance to the third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Herein, we describe the discovery of the 2,4-diaminonicotinamide derivative 5j, which shows potent inhibitory activity against EGFR del19/T790M/C797S and L858R/T790M/C797S. We also report the structure-activity relationship of the 2,4-diaminonicotinamide derivatives and the co-crystal structure of 5j and EGFR del19/T790M/C797S.
