RESUMEN
HER2 mutations were seen in 4% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Most of these mutations (90%) occur as an insertion mutation within the exon 20 frame, leading to the downstream activation of the PI3K-AKT and RAS/MAPK pathways. However, no targeted therapies have yet been approved worldwide. Here a novel series of highly potent HER2 inhibitors with a pyrido[2,3,4-de]quinazoline core were designed and developed. The derivatives with the pyrido[2,3,4-de]quinazoline core displayed superior efficacy of antiproliferation in BaF3 cells harboring HER2insYVMA mutation compared with afatinib and neratinib. Rat studies showed that 8a and 9a with the newly developed core have good pharmacokinetic properties with an oral bioavailability of 41.7 and 42.0%, respectively. Oral administration of 4a and 10e (30 mg/kg, QD) displayed significant antitumor efficacy in an in vivo xenograft model. We proposed promising strategies for the development of HER2insYVMA mutant inhibitors in this study.

Pyridine derivatives based on the addition of trinitromethyl functional groups were synthesized by the reaction of N2O4 with the corresponding pyridinecarboxaldoximes, then they were converted into dinitromethylide hydrazinium salts. These energetic compounds were fully characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray crystallography. These pyridine derivatives have good densities, positive enthalpies of formation, and acceptable sensitivity values. Theoretical calculations carried out using Gaussian 03 and EXPLO5 programs demonstrated good to excellent detonation velocities and pressures. Each of these compounds is superior in performance to TNT, while 2,6-bis(trinitromethyl)pyridine (D = 8700 m·s-1, P = 33.2 GPa) shows comparable detonation performance to that of RDX, but its thermal stability is too low, making it inferior to RDX.
