ABSTRACT
Targeting L858R/T790M and L858R/T790M/C797S mutant EGFR is a critical challenge in developing EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors to overcome drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The discovery of next-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is therefore necessary. To this end, a series of furopyridine derivatives were evaluated for their EGFR-based inhibition and antiproliferative activities using computational and biological approaches. We found that several compounds derived from virtual screening based on a molecular docking and solvated interaction energy (SIE) method showed the potential to suppress wild-type and mutant EGFR. The most promising PD13 displayed strong inhibitory activity against wild-type (IC50 of 11.64 ± 1.30 nM), L858R/T790M (IC50 of 10.51 ± 0.71 nM), which are more significant than known drugs. In addition, PD13 revealed a potent cytotoxic effect on A549 and H1975 cell lines with IC50 values of 18.09 ± 1.57 and 33.87 ± 0.86 µM, respectively. The 500-ns MD simulations indicated that PD13 formed a hydrogen bond with Met793 at the hinge region, thus creating excellent EGFR inhibitory activity. Moreover, the binding of PD13 in the hinge region of EGFR was the major determining factor in stabilizing the interactions via hydrogen bonds and van der Waals (vdW). Altogether, PD13 is a promising novel EGFR inhibitor that could be further clinically developed as fourth-generation EGFR-TKIs.
