Abstract

A series of 4-arylamido-2-arylaminoprimidines bearing acrylamide pharmacophore were synthesized as potent EGFRT790M/L858R inhibitors among which 9c (IC50 = 0.5872 nM), 9d (IC50 = 2.213 nM), or 9h (IC50 = 12.57 nM) showed more potent anti-EGFRT790M/L858R activity compared with AZD-9291 (IC50 = 20.80 nM) and possessed high SI displaying 307.6, 56.5, or 12.5 for EGFRT790M/L858R over the wild-type respectively. 9h also showed pretty good activity against H 1975 cells with an IC50 of 1.664 μM and exhibited low toxicity against the normal HBE cells (IC50 > 20 μΜ). 9h had moderate selectivity for H 1975 over A 431 (SI = 7.0) and the Other selected cell lines. Morphological staining results further indicated that 9h could promote Apoptosis. Hence, 9h was a promising compound for further investigation as a potential EGFRT790M/L858R inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC.
