Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs), the superfamily of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases, have recently become an attractive method for precision anticancer therapies since the approval of Larotrectinib and Entrectinib by FDA. Herein, we reported the discovery of a series of novel indazolylaminoquinazoline and indazolylaminoindazole as TRK inhibitors. The representative compound 30f exhibited good inhibitory activity against TRKWT, TRKG595R and TRKG667C with IC50 values of 0.55 nM, 25.1 nM and 5.4 nM, respectively. The compound also demonstrated potent superior to Larotrectinib antiproliferative activity against a panel of Ba/F3 cell lines transformed with both NTRK wild type and mutant fusions (IC50 = 10–200 nM). In addition, compound 30f exhibited good in vitro metabolic stability (T1/2 = 73.0 min), indicating that the quinazoline derivatives may have better metabolic stability. Finally, the binding mode of compound 30f predicted by molecular docking well explained the good enzyme inhibitory activity of indazolylaminoquinazoline compounds as TRK inhibitor. Thus, compound 30f can be used as a promising lead molecule for further structural optimization.
