Background: The interaction between tumor cells and their immunosuppressive microenvironment promotes tumor progression and drug resistance. Thus, simultaneously targeting tumor cells and stromal cells is expected to have synergistic antitumor effects. Herein, we present for the first time a preclinical antitumor investigation of 3D185, a novel dual inhibitor targeting FGFRs, which are oncogenic drivers, and CSF-1R, which is the major survival factor for protumor macrophages.

CDK4/6 pathway is an attractive chemotherapeutic target for antitumor drug discovery and development. Herein, we reported the structure-based design and synthesis of a series of novel tetrahydronaphthyridine analogues as selective CDK4/6 inhibitors. Compound 5 was identified as a hit and then systematically structure optimization study was conducted.

The discovery of a class of diheteroaromatic amines based on LY2835219 as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK1/4/6) inhibitors was described. The series was found to have much more improved CDK1 inhibition and potent in vitro anti-proliferative effects against cancer cell lines. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of these compounds were reported.
