Abstract

In this paper, we describe the discovery and optimization of a series of noncovalent reversible epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors of EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S. One of the most promising compounds, 25g, inhibited the enzymatic activity of EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S with an IC50 value of 2.2 nM. Cell proliferation assays showed that 25g effectively and selectively inhibited the growth of EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S-dependent cells. This series of compounds, which occupy both the ATP binding site and the allosteric site of the EGFR kinase, may serve as a basis for the development of fourth-generation EGFR inhibitors for L858R/T790M/C797S mutants.
