In order to find new and highly effective anti-tumor drugs with targeted therapeutic effects, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing N-phenylacetamide structure were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803) using MTT assay. The results showed that the compound 19e had the most potent antiproliferative activity against H1975, PC-3, MDA-MB-231 and MGC-803 cell lines. At the same time, compound 19e could significantly inhibit the colony formation and migration of H1975 cells. Compound 19e also arrested the H1975 cell cycle in the G1 phase and mediated cell apoptosis, promoted the accumulation of ROS in H1975 cells. Furthermore, compound 19e exerted antitumor effect in vitro by reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and increasing the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and p53. Mechanistically, compound 19e could significantly decreased the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream protein PI3K in H1975 cells. Which indicated that compound 19e targeted H1975 cell via interfering with EGFR-PI3K signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that compound 19e could bind into the active pocket of EGFR. Those work suggested that compound 19e would have remarkable implications for further design of anti-tumor agents.

Mutation of the proto-oncogene K-Ras is one of the most common molecular mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer. Many drugs for treating lung cancer have been developed, however, due to clinical observed K-Ras mutations, corresponding chemotherapy and targeted therapy for such mutation are not efficient enough. In this study, on the basis of the crystal structure of K-Ras, 21 analogues (TKR01–TKR21) containing urea or thiourea were rationally designed, which can effectively inhibit the lung cancer cell A549 growth. The designing of these compounds was based on the structure of K-Ras protein, and the related groups were replaced by bioisosteres to improve the affinity and selectivity. Biological testing revealed that compound TKR15 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of A549 cell with IC50 of 0.21 μM. Docking analysis showed that the TKR15 can effectively bind to the hydrophobic cavity and form a hydrogen bond with the Glu37. In addition, through flow apoptosis assay and immunofluorescence staining assay, it confirmed that this compound can inhibit A549 cell proliferation with the mechanism of blocking K-RasG12V protein and effector proteins interactions through the apoptotic pathway. In conclusion, our studies in finding novel potent compound (TKR15) with confirmed mechanism showed great potential for further optimisation and other medicinal chemistry relevant studies.

In order to discover novel compounds with inhibitory activity against 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), a series of thiourea derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the structural modification of compound 5d. Compound 5d emerged from the visual database of ChemDiv of 200,000 small molecules by docking score ranking. Inhibition experiments on PHGDH activity of newly synthesized compounds were performed in vitro. Compounds with more than 30percent inhibitory rate at 25?μM on PHGDH were screened for IC50 measurement. Anti-proliferative activity of 4a, 5a, 6e, 6n against A2780, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231 and HEK293T in vitro was evaluated. The results showed that the compound 4a displayed the best inhibitory activity on PHGDH among the newly synthesized compounds, and the compounds 4a, 5a, 6n had a better proliferation inhibition effect on human A2780 cell line than NCT-503 reported previously. In addition, 2D interaction diagrams revealed potential action modes of active compounds with PHGDH.
