Abstract

Aim: Our objective was to design and synthesize a new range of pyrazolopyrimidines while maintaining the key pharmacophoric features of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Materials & methods: Percentage inhibition in 14 human cancer cell lines and IC50 values were recorded. Compounds 6c, 7e and 7f were examined against both wild and mutant (T790M) EGFR subtypes. Apoptosis markers, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis assay and molecular docking were performed. Results: Compounds 6c, 7e and 7f demonstrated superior inhibitory potentials against wild and mutant (T790M) EGFR subtypes. A molecular docking study showed that compounds 6c and 7e had the best fit. Conclusion: The designed candidates demonstrated superior inhibitory potential as promising EGFR-T790M inhibitors that agrees with the proposed rationale.
