Abstract

Based upon the modeling binding mode of marketed AZD9291 with T790M, a series of N-9-Diphenyl-9H-purin-2-amine derivatives were designed and synthesized with the purpose to overcome the drug resistance resulted from T790M/L858R double mutations. The most potent compound 23a showed excellent Enzyme inhibitory activities and selectivity with nanomolar IC50 values for both the single T790M and double T790M/L858R mutant EGFRs, and was more than 8-fold selective for wild type EGFR. Compound 23a displayed strong antiproliferative activity against the H1975 non-small cell lung Cancer (NSCLC) cells bearing T790M/L858R. And it was less potent against A549 (WT EGFR and K-Ras mutation) and HT-29 (non-special gene type) cells, showing a high safety index.
