A new class of acrylamide-substituted quinazoline derivatives with enhanced inhibitory activity against mutant EGFR T790M enzyme were synthesized. Among them, compound 10b displayed the strongest inhibitory potency to block the phosphorylation of the EGFR T790M enzyme, with an IC value of 4.3 nM. Compared with the lead compound gefitinib, compound 10b significantly strengthened the activity against EGFR T790M (194 times higher). Furthermore, compound 10b only exhibited moderate activity against wild type EGFR, with an IC of 105.0 nM, suggesting its improved selectivity over the T790M-mutated EGFR. In addition, compound 10b also showed stronger activity against H1975 cells harboring the EGFR T790M mutation than gefitinib. Moreover, compound 10b has low inhibitory activity toward the normal HBE cells (IC > 34.04 μM), indicating its low cell cytotoxicity. Overall, this modification provided a new insight to design covalent binding EGFRT790M inhibitors to prevent NSCLC resistance.

FDA-approved numerous commercial and natural drugs used in cancer treatment feature either pyrazole or alkyne moieties. On the basis of this, we designed and synthesized 20 novel propargyloxy-substituted pyrazole-based aurones (10a-j and 11a-j) and evaluated for their anticancer potential against cancerous MCF-7 and human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cell lines, as well as normal cell line human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293), through MTT assay. Among these tested compounds, five (10d-f, 11e, and 11f) displayed potent cytotoxic properties for AGS cancer cell line with IC values ranging from 19.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of (E)-kojyl-styryl-sulfones: Novel recilisib hybrids as promising radioprotectors.

Arch Pharm (Weinheim)

Radioprotectors are synthetic compounds, natural products, or biological agents that are administered before irradiation to protect normal cells against ionizing radiation (IR)-induced injuries. We have designed novel hybrid (E)-kojyl-styryl-sulfones 10a-n by applying the pharmacophore hybridization strategy to combine key structural motifs of the natural antioxidant kojic acid and the emerging radioprotector Ex-RAD (recilisib sodium). These hybrids were successfully synthesized and characterized with (E)-geometry.

State Key Laboratory of Bioactive Substance and Function of Natural Medicines, Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100050, China. Electronic address:

Two undescribed diterpenoids (1-2) and three lignans (3a/3b, 4a), together with sixteen known compounds (4b, 5-9, 10a/10b-14a/14b) were obtained from the stems of Tripterygium wilfordii (T. wilfordii). The structures of these new compounds were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses, and their absolute configurations were estabished by ECD calculations.

Article Synopsis
  • CK2 is an important enzyme involved in cell growth and survival, making it a potential target for cancer treatments, but many existing inhibitors are not selective enough.
  • Researchers discovered a new compound, a dihydropyrido-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative, which showed strong inhibitory activity against CK2α and was notable for its unique chemical structure.
  • The most effective compound, 10b, had an IC value of 36.7 nM and demonstrated good selectivity and cellular activity against certain cancer cell lines, outperforming existing inhibitors in terms of inducing cell death.

Department of Science, Institute for Information Technologies Kragujevac, University of Kragujevac, Kragujevac 34000, Serbia. Electronic address:

The aim of the presented research was to explore anticancer potential of eleven newly synthesized tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives. The compounds were synthesized via Biginelli multicomponent one-pot reaction using different derivatives of vanillin, ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate and (N-methyl)urea. The cytotoxic effects of the compounds were examined on three human malignant cell lines (HeLa, K562, and MCF7), and normal lung fibroblasts MRC-5.
