The treatment of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors is complicated by drug-sensitive activating L858R/T790M and L858R/T790M/C797S mutations. To overcome drug resistance, a series of furopyridine (PD) compounds were virtually screened to identify potent EGFR inhibitors using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the solvated interaction energy (SIE) method. Several PD compounds identified from virtual screening demonstrated the potential to suppress both wild-type and mutant forms of EGFR, with IC values in the nanomolar range.

In the case of 1,3-diamino-2,7-naphthyridines, it was found that the rearrangement reaction was influenced by both the substituent at the 7th position of the 2,7-naphthyridine ring and by the nature of the cyclic amine at the 1st position. The influence was mainly steric.

Hybrids connected to a 1,2,3-triazole ring were synthesized using the well-known click reaction. The synthesis of the 1,2,4-triazole-based hybrids was carried out using 2-[(4-cyano-1-methyl(2-furyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolin-3-yl)oxy]acetohydrazides as starting compounds.

They show a wide diversity in tissue distribution and their subcellular localization. Twenty-two novel phthalazine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against four human isoforms: hCA I, hCA II, hCA IX, and hCA XII.
