Exploring the structural activity relationship of the Osimertinib: A covalent inhibitor of double mutant EGFR tyrosine kinase for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

The USFDA granted regular approval to Osimertinib (AZD9291) on March 2017, for treating individuals with metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer having EGFR T790M mutation. Clinically, Osimertinib stands at the forefront for the treatment of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Osimertinib forms a covalent bond with the Cys797 residue and predominantly spares binding to WT-EGFR, thereby reducing toxicity and enabling the administration of doses that effectively inhibit T790M.
