摘要
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment, aberrant expression of c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) has been identified as a driving factor in epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) resistance. Unfortunately, none of the EGFR/c-Met dual-target inhibitors have successfully passed clinical trials. Hence, based on molecular docking analysis and combination principles of EGFR and c-Met inhibitors, three series of 4-(2-fluorophenoxy)-7-methoxyquinazoline derivatives as new EGFR/c-Met inhibitors were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activities. Among these compounds, TS-41 displayed the best inhibitory activity against EGFRL858R and c-Met kinases, with an IC50 value of 68.1 nM and 0.26 nM respectively. Moreover, it also showed excellent inhibitory activity on three NSCLC cell lines A549−P, H1975 and PC-9 with IC50 values ranging from 1.48 to 2.76 μM. Flow cytometry assays demonstrated that TS-41 induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of A549−P cells in a concentration-dependent manner, corresponding to JC-1 staining assay results. Western blot analysis revealed that TS-41 significantly downregulated the phosphorylation of EGFR, c-Met, and downstream AKT at molecular level. Importantly, TS-41 exhibited potent in vivo anticancer efficacy in an A549−P-bearing allograft nude mouse model at a dose of 60 mg/kg with a tumor growth inhibition rate of 55.3 % compared with Afatinib (46.4 %), as well as low hemolytic toxicity and organ toxicity. Molecular docking results showed that TS-41 was well embedded into the cavity of EGFR (PDB: 5GMP) and c-Met (PDB: 3LQ8) proteins, respectively. In summary, TS-41 is a high-efficiency and low-toxicity EGFR/c-Met inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC and is worthy of further exploration.
