A high-throughput 32D(L858R/T790M) cell-based assay to identify inhibitors of the L858R/T790M mutant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway was established. After screening, ten hits from among 60,000 compounds in our in-house compound library were initially identified. In the secondary assays, one hit, 1-[2-(decyloxy)-2-oxoethyl]-3-methyl-2-[(4-methylphenoxy) methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium, was confirmed to directly inhibit the kinase activity of recombinant L858R/T790M EGFR and the phosphorylation of EGFR-L858R/T790M in gefitinib-resistant H1975 cells. Thus, this high-throughput assay system may be useful for identifying novel inhibitors which suppress mutant EGFR-T790M signalling and for overcoming T790M-mediated acquired resistance for future anticancer drug discovery.

Discovery of novel dual-target inhibitors of LSD1/EGFR for non-small cell lung cancer therapy.

Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in various solid and hematological tumors, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target, but there are currently no LSD1 inhibitors available on the market. In this study we employed a computer-guided approach to identify novel LSD1/EGFR dual inhibitors as a potential therapeutic agent for non-small cell lung cancer. Through a multi-stage virtual screening approach, we found L-1 and L-6, two compounds with unique scaffolds that effectively inhibit LSD1 with IC values of 6.

A series of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives bearing 5-substituted-1,3,4 thidiazole were devised and synthesized based on the binding mode of the approved drug Osimertinib with the ATP competitive site of EGFR-L858R/T790M in order to increase selectivity towards double mutant EGFR and potent antitumor activity. Their cellular bioactivity and corresponding enzyme inhibition were studied, and it was revealed that several compounds had significant biological activity and selectivity when compared to the control compounds. One of the most promising compound 8, substantially suppressed the proliferation of H1975 cells and showed significant inhibition of double mutant EGFR-L858R/T790M TK with IC values of 0.

Despite the success of first, second, and third generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for non-small cell lung cancer with classical EGFR mutations (L858R or Exon 19 deletions), disease progression occurs due to the acquisition of T790M and C797S resistance. Herein, we report a physics-based computationally driven lead identification approach that identified structurally unique imidazo[3.2-]pyrazoles as reversible and wild-type-sparing EGFR TKIs of classical mutations bearing both T790M and C797S.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a starring target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have been used to treat NSCLC patients with EGFR-activating mutations. However, most patients invariably develop resistance to these agents due to the occurrence of novel mutations at the EGFR kinase domain.

Furopyridine Derivatives as Potent Inhibitors of the Wild Type, L858R/T790M, and L858R/T790M/C797S EGFR.

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.
