Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib-activated mutants is common in non-small cell lung cancer. An in-silico screening study of quinazolines and pyridopyrimidines against the wild-type (WT) and mutation of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors was conducted, employing several computational approaches such as covalent docking and molecular dynamics simulation followed by reactivity and the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Twenty-two heterocyclic compounds were screened by covalent docking against WT and mutated proteins (L858R and T790M). Compounds 4 and 19, which contain quinazoline[3,4-d]pyrimidine and pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine, respectively, were found to have an affinity toward the wild-type and the mutant protein. In addition, they had good chemical reactivity and kinetic stability toward the WT and mutations and desirable ADMET properties. These findings reveal new, robust, and irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the WT and its mutant proteins.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for all aspects of research related to polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC). Topics range from fundamental research in chemistry (including synthetic and theoretical chemistry) and physics (including astrophysics), as well as thermodynamics, spectroscopy, analytical methods, and biology to applied studies in environmental science, biochemistry, toxicology, and industry. Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds has an outstanding Editorial Board and offers a rapid and efficient peer review process, as well as a flexible open access policy.
