Publication Abstract from PubMedMutated or amplified Her2 serves as a driver of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or mediates resistance toward the inhibition of its family member EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) with small-molecule inhibitors. Current data from clinical candidates revealed that inhibitors targeting Her2 suffer from poor response rates of less than 40%, and therefore, the development of novel inhibitors was undertaken. In this study, the well-established pyrrolopyrimidine scaffold was modified with structural motifs identified from a screening campaign with more than 1600 compounds which were applied against wild-type Her2 and its mutant variant Her2-A775_G776insYVMA. The resulting inhibitors were designed to covalently target a reactive cysteine in the binding site of Her2 and were further optimized by means of structure-based drug design utilizing a set of obtained complex crystal structures. In addition, the analysis of binding kinetics and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) parameters, as well as MS experiments and western blot analysis substantiated our approach.
