The synthesis and SAR of a series of 4-anilino-6,7-dialkoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) kinase are described. Condensation of 3,4dialkoxyanilines with ethyl (ethoxymethylene)cyanoacetate followed by thermal cyclization gave, regiospecifically, 6,7-dialkoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbonitriles. Chlorination (POCl 3) followed by the reaction with substituted anilines furnished the 4-anilino-6,7-dialkoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile inhibitors of EGF-R kinase. An alternate synthesis of these compounds starts with a methyl 3,4-dialkoxybenzoate. Nitration followed by reduction (Fe, NH 4 Cl, MeOH-H 2 O) gave a methyl 2-amino-4,5-dialkoxybenzoate. Amidine formation using DMF-acetal followed by cyclization using LiCH 2 CN furnished a 6,7-dialkoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbonitrile, which was transformed as before. Compounds containing acid, ester, amide, carbinol, and aldehyde groups at the 3-position of the quinoline ring were also prepared for comparison, as were several 1-anilino-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline-4-carbonitriles. The compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the autophosphorylation of the catalytic domain of EGF-R. The SAR of these inhibitors with respect to the nature of the 6,7-alkoxy groups, the aniline substituents, and the substituent at the 3-position was studied. The compounds were further evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of cell lines that overexpress EGF-R or HER-2. It was found that 4-anilinoquinoline-3-carbonitriles are effective inhibitors of EGF-R kinase with activity comparable to the 4-anilinoquinazoline-based inhibitors. A new homology model of EGF-R kinase was constructed based on the X-ray structures of Hck and FGF receptor-1 kinase. The model suggests that with the quinazoline-based inhibitors, the N3 atom is hydrogen-bonded to a water molecule which, in turn, interacts with Thr 830. It is proposed that the quinoline-3-carbonitriles bind in a similar manner where the water molecule is displaced by the cyano group which interacts with the same Thr residue.

A novel type of cinnamic acid quinazoline amide derivatives (20-42), which designed the combination between quinazoline as the backbone and various substituted cinnamic acid as the side chain, have been synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated within cytotoxicity assay firstly and then potent EGFR inhibitory activity. Compound 42 demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity (IC 50 = 0.94 lM for EGFR), which could be optimized as a potential EGFR inhibitor in the further study. Docking simulation was performed to position compound 42 into the EGFR active site to determine the probable binding model. Analysis of the binding conformation of 42 in active site displayed compound 42 was stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions with Lys822, which was different from other derivatives. In the further study, Compounds 43 and 44 had been synthesized and their biological activities were also evaluated, which were the same as that we expected. Compound 43 has demonstrated significant EGFR (IC 50 = 0.12 lM) and tumor growth inhibitory activity as a potential anticancer agent.
New compounds of 4-anilino-6-substituted quinazoline were designed, synthesized and tested for their EGFR-TK and tumor growth inhibitory activities. The synthesized compounds were appended with amides 6 and 7, dithiocarbamate ester 8a–f or urea/thiourea 9–12 moieties at C-6 of the quinazoline ring to work as extra hydrogen bond acceptors. All the synthesized compounds were effective against EGFR-TK activity, particularly, derivatives 8a, 8f and 9 with IC50 values of 0.14±0.003, 0.119±0.003, and 0.115±0.002 μM, respectively, showed the best activities. The three compounds were further assayed for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, H-69, SKOV-3 and LS-174T cell lines. Multikinase enzymes inhibition activity of compound 9 was further screened including VEGFR-2, c-MER, c-MET and Her-2. Compounds 8a, 8f, and 9 were docked into the ATP binding site of EGFR-TK which also had resemblance binding pattern to erlotinib with extra binding mode with Cys-773 at the gatekeeper of the enzyme.

The inhibition of key receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that are implicated in tumor vasculature formation and maintenance, as well as tumor progression and metastasis, has been a major focus in oncology research over the last several years. Many potent small molecule inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) kinases have been evaluated. More recently, compounds that act through the complex inhibition of multiple kinase targets have been reported and may exhibit improved clinical efficacy. We report herein a series of potent, orally efficacious 4-amino-3-benzimidazol-2-ylhydroquinolin-2-one analogues as inhibitors of VEGF, PDGF, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor tyrosine kinases. Compounds in this class, such as 5 (TKI258), are reversible ATPcompetitive inhibitors of VEGFR-2, FGFR-1, and PDGFR with IC 50 values <0.1 µM. On the basis of its favorable in vitro and in vivo properties, compound 5 was selected for clinical evaluation and is currently in phase I clinical trials.

ABSTRACTEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors have been used to target non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and chordomas with varying amounts of success. We have probed several key structural features including an interaction with Asp855 within the EGFR DGF motif and interactions with the active site water network. The EGFR target engagement was then evaluated in an in-cell assay. Additionally, inhibitors were profiled in representative cellular models of NSCLC and chordomas. In addition to a structure activity relationship insights for EGFR inhibtior design, we also identified a compound (18) that is the most potent inhibitor (IC50 = 310 nM) on the UCH-2 chordoma cell line to date.

With the aim of overcoming gefitinib resistance, a series of novel quinazoline derivatives bearing an adamantyl group on the aniline ring were synthesized as potent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Most of these analogues are comparable to gefitinib in their ability to inhibit non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, and several also exhibited significantly enhanced anti-tumor potency. Specifically, compound 3d, with an IC50 value of 2.06 μM against A431 cells with the wild-type EGFR and of 0.009 μM against the gefitinib-sensitive cells, displayed approximately 5-fold higher potency than the lead compound to inhibit the cells harboring the EGFR(T790M) mutant. In addition, the molecular simulation and Western blot analysis results also indicated that these compounds effectively interfered with the EGFR(T790M) activity, and may serve as a new alternative structure to develop more effective antitumor agents.
