Design and structural optimization of novel SOS1 inhibitors in KRAS-driven cancers
The development of small molecular inhibitors to target the guanine nucleotide exchange factor SOS1 has been proved to be a hopeful strategy for the treatment of various KRAS-driven cancers. Constructing novel SOS1 inhibitors is urgently needed due to the increasing drug resistance arising from structural similarity of earlier analogs. Herein, we discovered a new SOS1 inhibitor with para-dimethylaminoazetidine quinazoline scaffold. The most potent compound 10i showed superior activity to the reported SOS1 inhibitor Hit 1 in both the KRASG12C::SOS1 PPI inhibition assay and 3D proliferation inhibitory assay, and compound 10i presented enhanced aqueous solubility under physiologically relevant pH 6.8. Moreover, compound 10i could downregulate the levels of phosphorylated ERK and AKT in the NCI-H358 cancer cell line. Overall, these studies showed that 10i was a promising drug candidate for the treatment of KRAS-driven cancer.
