The epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase (TK) implicated in the uncontrolled growth of non-small cell lung cancer. EGFR-TK inhibitors have been used extensively, however inhibitor resistance often develops leading to disease progression. In this work, we report the computationally guided design and preparation of novel covalent 2,4-diaminopyrimidine EGFR-TK inhibitors, inspired by Osimertinib. Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanical (QM) calculations were performed on novel designs incorporating a 2-methyl-2H-indazol-6-amine at the 4-position of pyrimidine as well as various linkers and electrophiles. Calculations suggested swapping the 5-pyrimidine -H atom for -Cl would lead to a preferential “out” ligand conformation that favored T790M enzyme which was later confirmed experimentally. Compound 19 was the most potent inhibitor of WT EGFR (3.0 nM) observed, more potent than the EGFR WT inhibitor Erlotinib (5.9 nM). Compounds 48 and 49 demonstrated better activity for the double-mutant EGFR (3.0 & 2.0 nM, respectively) than Osimertinib (12.8 nM). The selectivity of these compounds for the DM was found to be comparable to Osimertinib (∼20 fold) while their phosphate buffer solubilities were > 50-fold better than both marketed drugs. Kinetic evaluation of 48 (propenamide moiety) vs 49 (acrylamide electrophile) confirms k<inf>inact</inf>/K<inf>i</inf> values consistent with a covalent mode of action for the latter, but not the former. 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

The objective of this research was to explore the suitability of chitosan (CS) in the form of nanoparticles (NP) and microfibres (MF) for oral delivery applications related to low solubility antibiotic drugs sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin. The ionic gelation method in conjunction with freeze-drying was used to produce crosslinked chitosan material. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique was used to characterize the particle size and polydispersity index (PDI). Surface morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antibiotic drugs ciprofloxacin (CPF) and sulfamethoxazole (SMO) were loaded onto the chitosan nanoparticle and microfibre materials. The degree of loading and the release kinetics were investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a UV-visible spectrophotometer, respectively. CS itself has mucoadhesive properties and combined with the more rapid release of drug compared to the pure API, or traditional tablet formulations, CS nanoparticles and microfibres have the potential to improve the delivery properties of CPF and also SMO to a lesser extent. This difference can be rationalized on account of their differing physicochemical properties.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase has been implicated in the uncontrolled cell growth associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This has prompted the development of 3 generations of EGFR inhibitors over the last 2 decades due to the rapid development of drug resistance issues caused by clinical mutations, including T790M, L858R and the double mutant T790M & L858R. In this work we report the design, preparation and biological assessment of new irreversible 2,4-diaminopyrimidine-based inhibitors of EGFR kinase. Twenty new compounds have been prepared and evaluated which incorporate a range of electrophilic moieties. These include acrylamide, 2-chloroacetamide and (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide, to allow reaction with residue Cys797. In addition, more polar groups have been incorporated to provide a better balance of physical properties than clinical candidate Rociletinib. Inhibitory activities against EGFR wildtype (WT) and EGFR T790M & L858R have been evaluated along with cytotoxicity against EGFR-overexpressing (A549, A431) and normal cell lines (HepG2). Selectivity against JAK3 kinase as well as physicochemical properties determination (logD<inf>7.4</inf> and phosphate buffer solubility) have been used to profile the compounds. We have identified 20, 21 and 23 as potent mutant EGFR inhibitors (≤20 nM), with comparable or better selectivity over WT EGFR, and lower activity at JAK3, than Osimertinib or Rociletinib. Compounds 21 displayed the best combination of EGFR mutant activity, JAK3 selectivity, cellular activity and physicochemical properties. Finally, kinetic studies on 21 were performed, confirming a covalent mechanism of action at EGFR.

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a common infection found in domesticated and wild cats worldwide. Despite the wealth of therapeutic understanding of the disease in humans, considerably less information exists regarding the treatment of the disease in felines. Current treatment relies on drugs developed for the related human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and includes compounds of the popular non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase (NNRTI) class. This is despite FIV-RT being only 67% similar to HIV-1 RT at the enzyme level, increasing to 88% for the allosteric pocket targeted by NNRTIs. The goal of this project was to try to quantify how well the more extensive pharmacological knowledge available for human disease translates to felines. To this end we screened known NNRTIs and 10 diverse pyrimidine analogs identified virtually. We use this chemo-centric probe approach to (a) assess the similarity between the two related RT targets based on the observed experimental inhibition values, (b) try to identify more potent inhibitors at FIV, and (c) gain a better appreciation of the structure–activity relationships (SAR). We found the correlation between IC<inf>50</inf>s at the two targets to be strong (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.87) and identified compound 1 as the most potent inhibitor of FIV with IC<inf>50</inf> of 0.030 μM ± 0.009. This compared to FIV IC<inf>50</inf> values of 0.22 ± 0.17 μM, 0.040 ± 0.010 μM and >160 μM for known anti HIV-1 RT drugs Efavirenz, Rilpivirine, and Nevirapine, respectively. This knowledge, along with an understanding of the structural origin that give rise to any differences could improve the way HIV drugs are repurposed for FIV.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been considered a potential target for lung cancer therapy due to its essential role in regulating the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. Although erlotinib, a potent EGFR tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) inhibitor, has been used as the first-line drug for lung cancer treatment, acquired drug resistance caused by the T790M secondary mutation of EGFR-TK inevitably develops after a median response duration of 9-13 months. Thus, the search for promising compounds to effectively target EGFR-TK has become an imperative necessity. In this study, the kinase inhibitory activities of a series of sulfonylated indeno[1,2-c]quinolines (SIQs) against EGFR-TK were experimentally and theoretically investigated. Among the 23 SIQ derivatives studied, eight compounds showed enhanced EGFR-TK inhibitory activity (IC<inf>50</inf> values of ca. 0.6-10.2 nM) compared to the known drug erlotinib (IC<inf>50</inf> of ∼20 nM). In a cell-based assay in human cancer cell lines with EGFR overexpression (A549 and A431 cells), the eight selected SIQs all showed more significant cytotoxicity against A431 than A549 cells, consistent with the higher EGFR expression in A431 cells. Molecular docking and FMO-RIMP2/PCM calculations revealed that SIQ17 occupies the ATP-binding site of EGFR-TK, where its sulfonyl group is mainly stabilized by C797, L718, and E762 residues. Triplicate 500 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations also confirmed the binding strength of SIQ17 in complex with EGFR. Overall, the potent SIQ compounds obtained in this work could be further optimized for developing novel anticancer drug candidates targeting EGFR-TK.

Target therapies have been widely developed to combat various diseases and cancer. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor is still a currently therapeutic target for solid tumor. Aberration of EGFR activity or expression reflect disease progression and poor prognosis. Recently, several newly synthesized 4-aryl-N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amines with some modifications at R2 selectively elicited cytotoxicity against A549. Therefore, harboring EGFR expression would be reasonable for the assessment. Herein, the 4-aryl-N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amines derivatives; N-(3-{[4-(4-methoxyphenyl) pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}phenyl), 3-{[4-(3-methoxyphenyl) pyrimidin-2-yl] amino}benzene-1-sulfonamide. (13g), methanesulfonamide (13c), 3-[(4-phenylpyrimidin-2-yl)amino] benzene-1-sulfonamide (13f) and 3-(benzene-1-sulfonamide) (5) were selected as promising derivatives for targeted-EGFR analysis. Kinase enzymatic-based assay exhibited IC<inf>50</inf> values of 5.61, 31.92, 73.80 and 0.79 nM of each derivative, respectively whilst 41.50 nM of Gefitinib. Molecular docking deciphered the mode of binding of each derivative in ATP-binding site greater than gefitinib. Although, (13g) demonstrated the highest binding free energy among the other but not in ATP-binding site as the others does that related to its IC<inf>50</inf> values. (13c), (13f), and (5) therefore were subjected for cell-based analysis. A549 and A431 were used as wtEGFR-expressing cells for cell-based assay. (13c), (13f), and (5) had high toxicity towards in both cells while (5) had much more toxicity on A431. (13c), (13f) and (5) not only induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner but reduced clonogenic formation greater than gefitinib. Migration of EGF-stimulated A431 was significantly delayed by the compounds over time but they could not delay EGF-stimulated A549 migration. Taken together, (13c), (13f) and (5) would be a newly synthesized derivative by targeting wtEGFR-expressing cells that attenuated EGFR-driven cancer hallmark leading to targeted therapy development.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a noxious malignancy of epithelium of the bile duct with a low response rate to chemotherapy. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is implicated in the development of cancerous cells, especially CCA. In this study, we report detailed biological profiling of 13f identified from our earlier hit expansion studies. The aim of this work was to expand our understanding of 13f via more detailed investigations of its mechanism of action against KKU-100, KKU-452 and KKU-M156 CCA cells, as well as in comparison to the EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib and non-specific chemotherapeutic agents such as Cisplatin. Methods: Inhibiting EGFR-Kinase, cytotoxicity, clonogenic assay, wound healing and apoptosis were performed. Levels of total expression of EGFR and EGFR phosphorylation proteins were detected. Results: 13f was confirmed as an inhibitor of EGFR with an IC50 value against the tyrosine kinase of EGFR of 22 nM and IC50 values for 48 h incubation period were 1.3 ± 1.9, 1.5 ± 0.4 and 1.7 ± 1.1 μM of KKU-100, KKU-452 and KKU-M156, respectively through dose- and time-dependent induction of early apoptosis of CCA cells. The compound also suppressed the clonogenic ability of KKU-100 and KKU-M156 cells stronger than Gefitinib, while potently inhibiting EGF-stimulated CCA cell migratory activity in KKU-452 cells. It was observed that under normal conditions EGFR was activated in CCA cells. EGF-stimulated basal expression of EGFR in KKU-452 cells was suppressed following 13f treatment, which was significantly greater than that of the marketed EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib. Conclusion: In summary, our study showed that 13f has potent anti-cancer activities including antiproliferation, clonogenic ability and migration through the modulation of EGFR signaling pathway in CCA for the first time. The compound represents an interesting starting point as a potential chemotherapeutic agent in ongoing efforts to improve response rate in CCA patients
