Abstract

Recently, more and more concomitant EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangement are observed from the clinic, which still lacks effective single-agent therapy. Starting from ALK inhibitor 14 (TAE684), we have developed a highly potent EGFR/ALK dual kinase inhibitor compound 18 (CHMFL-ALK/EGFR-050), which potently inhibited EGFR L858R, del 19 and T790M mutants as well as EML4-ALK, R1275Q, L1196M, F1174L and C1156Y mutants biochemically. Compound 18 significantly inhibited the proliferation of EGFR mutant and EML4-ALK driven NSCLC cell lines. In the cellular context it strongly affected EGFR and ALK mediated signaling pathways, induced Apoptosis and arrested cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. In the in vivo studies, 18 significantly suppressed the tumor growth in H1975 cell inoculated xenograft model (40 mg/kg/d, TGI: 99%) and H3122 cell inoculated xenograft model (40 mg/kg/d, TGI: 78%). Compound 18 might be a potential drug candidate for EGFR- or ALK-individual as well as concomitant EGFR/ALK NSCLC.
