To resolve the problem of drug resistance caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer, we used the principle of collocation to design and synthesize a series of aminopyrimidine derivatives with 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno [3,2-c]pyridine side chains (according to the binding mode of AZD9291 to EGFR) for use as EGFR kinase inhibitors. The most promising compound A12, a non-covalently bound reversible inhibitor, showed excellent kinase inhibitory activity against EGFR, with an IC value of 4.0 nM and more than 42-fold selectivity for EGFR (IC = 170.0 nM). Moreover, compound A12 showed strong anti-proliferative activity against H1975 cells, with IC value of 0.086 μΜ. Additionally, the effective inhibition of cell migration and the promotion of apoptosis by A12 verified its mechanism of action, as a selective inhibitor of EGFR.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a pivotal member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, exerting crucial regulatory influence on cellular physiological processes, particularly in relation to cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. In recent years, numerous EGFR inhibitors have been introduced to the market; unfortunately, the effectiveness of single-target EGFR inhibitors has been compromised due to the development of drug resistance caused by EGFR mutations. Despite attempts by some researchers to address this issue through combination therapy with two or more drugs, instances of dose-limiting toxicities have been observed.

Signal Transdcer and Activator of Transcription 5A and 5B (STAT5A/5B) are key effectors of tyrosine kinase oncogenes in myeloid leukemias. It is now clearly evidenced that inhibition of STAT5A/5B not only blocks the growth and survival of myeloid leukemia cells but also overcomes the resistance of leukemic cells to chemotherapy. Previous screening experiments allowed us to identify 17f as a lead compound with promising antileukemic activity that blocks the phosphorylation and transcriptional activity of STAT5A/5B in myeloid leukemia cells addicted to these proteins.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on synthesizing a series of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives that exhibit adjustable optical properties depending on the aryl groups attached to them, both in solid and solution states.
- - The synthesized compounds showed significant variability in their optical characteristics, including absorption and emission rates, with quantum yields ranging from 8.11% to 71.00% in DMF and specific fluorescence lifetimes.
- - The results suggest that these derivatives have potential applications in optoelectronics due to their unique dual-state emission properties and the ability to modify energy levels through different substituents.
