Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of diphenyl ether substituted quinazolin-4-amine derivatives as potent EGFR inhibitors.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a validated target for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the treatment for EGFR-C797S mutation induced by third-generation EGFR inhibitors remains a concern. Therefore, the development of the fourth-generation EGFR inhibitors to overcome the EGFR-C797S mutation has great potential for clinical treatment.

Discovery and optimization of 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives spanning ATP binding site and allosteric site as effective EGFR-C797S inhibitors.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an effective drug target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a tertiary point mutation (C797S) at the ATP binding pocket of the EGFR induces resistance to the third-generation EGFR inhibitors, due to the loss of covalent interaction with Cys797. Here, we designed a series of 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives that simultaneously occupied the ATP binding pocket and the allosteric site.

Discovery of Pteridine-7(8)-one Derivatives as Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK).

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an attractive therapeutic target in the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Covalent and noncovalent BTK inhibitors have been developed, among which covalent BTK inhibitors have shown great clinical efficacy. However, some of them could produce adverse effects, such as diarrhea, rash, and platelet dysfunction, which are associated with the off-target inhibition of ITK and EGFR.

Discovery of pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-one derivatives as novel non-covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an attractive target for the treatment of malignancy and inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. Most of the covalent BTK inhibitors would induce off-target side effects and drug resistance. To improve the drug safety of BTK inhibitors, non-covalent inhibitors have attracted more and more attention.
