4-Aminoindazolyl-dihydrofuro[3,4-d]pyrimidines as non-covalent inhibitors of mutant epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2016 Jan 15;26(2):534-539. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.11.078. Epub 2015 Nov 22.

Abstract

The treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven non-small cell lung cancers with the T790M resistance mutation remains a significant unmet medical need. We report the identification of 4-aminoindazolyl-dihydrofuro[3,4-d]pyrimidines as non-covalent inhibitors of EGFR, with excellent activity against the T790M resistance double mutants and initial single activating mutants. Using an optimization strategy focused on structure-based design and improving PK properties through metabolite identification, we obtained advanced leads with high oral exposure.

Keywords: Dihydrofuropyrimidine; EGFR inhibitor; Epidermal growth factor receptor; Non-covalent.
