Abstract

In the present study, endoperoxide and 4-anilinoqnazoline were conjugated to obtain a series of compounds. These conjugates exhibited high antiproliferative potency against a number of Cancer cell lines, including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) L858R/T790M mutant cell. Compound 5 was selected as a representative for mechanistic study. Further experiments revealed the conjugate's Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generating ability, Apoptosis inducing activity and involvement in EGFR downstream signaling pathways.
