A series of pyridothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-amines was designed and synthesized as congeners to the classical 4-anilinoquinazolines as ATP-competitive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Compound 5a exhibited the most potent and selective inhibitory activity against EGFR with an IC50 value of 36.7 nM. Moreover, compounds 4b and 5a showed remarkable cell growth inhibition against leukemia, central nervous system cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer cell lines that overexpress EGFR, with growth inhibition of 50% (GI50) values of around 10 nM in the full U.S. National Cancer Institute 60 cell panel assay. Cell cycle studies indicated that compounds 4b and 5a induced significant cell cycle arrest in the S-phase and G0/G1, respectively, in addition to boosting P27kip expression. Compound 5a did not alter the viability of placental trophoblasts, which reflects its safety for normal cells. The standard COMPARE analyses demonstrated considerable correlation levels between compounds 4b and 5a and erlotinib, with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) values of 0.707 and 0.727, respectively.
研究人员设计并合成了一系列吡啶噻吩并[3,2-d]嘧啶-4-胺,作为经典 4-苯胺基喹唑类化合物的同系物,作为 ATP 竞争性表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)抑制剂。化合物 5a 对表皮生长因子受体具有最强的选择性抑制活性,其 IC50 值为 36.7 nM。此外,化合物 4b 和 5a 对过量表达表皮生长因子受体的白血病、中枢神经系统癌症和非小细胞肺癌细胞系表现出显著的细胞生长抑制作用,在全套美国国家癌症研究所 60 细胞面板检测中,生长抑制 50%(GI50)值约为 10 nM。细胞周期研究表明,化合物 4b 和 5a 除了促进 P27kip 的表达外,还分别诱导细胞周期明显停滞在 S 期和 G0/G1。化合物 5a 没有改变胎盘滋养细胞的活力,这反映了它对正常细胞的安全性。标准 COMPARE 分析表明,化合物 4b 和 5a 与厄洛替尼之间具有相当高的相关性,吡啶氯铬酸盐 (PCC) 值分别为 0.707 和 0.727。
