Abstract: Osimertinib has been approved as a first-line treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose tumor carries EGFR activation and / or resistant mutations. To mitigate Osimertinib's toxicity caused by AZ5104, the N-demethylation metabolite of Osimertinib, we designed and synthesized a series of Osimertinib analogs with different headpieces. In vitro and in vivo analysis rendered a potential clinical candidate C-005 which had pyrrolo-pyridine headpiece. Biochemically, C-005 and its main human hepatocyte metabolite showed over 30 fold selectivity of L858R/T790M mutant EGFR over WT EGFR. Such selectivity profile was retained at cellular level. In general, C-005 is 2-14 fold more selective than Osimertinib in a panel of WT EGFR cancer cell lines. Furthermore, C-005 demonstrated robust antitumor efficacy and good tolerability in NCI-H1975, PC-9 and HCC827 xenograft mouse models, making it a potential candidate for human test in clinical.
