In light of the emergence of resistance against the currently available EGFR inhibitors, our study focuses on tackling this problem through the development of dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors with improved enzymatic affinities. Guided by the binding mode of the marketed dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitor, Lapatinib, we proposed the design of dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors based on the 6-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine as a core scaffold and hinge binder. After two cycles of screening aiming to identify the optimum aniline headgroup and solubilizing group, we eventually identified 27b as a dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitor with IC50 values of 91.7 nM and 1.2 μM, respectively. Notably, 27b dramatically reduced the viability of various patient-derived cancer cells preferentially overexpressing EGFR/HER2 (A431, MDA-MBA-361 and SKBr3 with IC50 values of 1.45, 3.5 and 4.83 μM, respectively). Additionally, 27b efficiently thwarted the proliferation of lapatinib-resistant human non-small lung carcinoma (NCI-H1975) cells, harboring T790 M mutation, with IC50 of 4.2 μM. Consistently, 27b significantly blocked EGF-induced EGFR activation and inactivated its downstream AKT/mTOR/S6 signalling pathway triggering apoptotic cell death in NCI-H1975 cells. The present study presents a promising candidate for further design and development of novel EGFR/HER2 inhibitors capable of overcoming EGFR TKIs resistance.
