Article Abstract

The FGFR1 V561M mutation significantly reduces the efficacy of current FGFR1 inhibitors, creating an urgent need for targeted second-generation therapies. In this study, we developed a comprehensive virtual screening protocol that combines energy-based screening and machine learning techniques, leading to the identification of a novel compound, . This compound exhibited potent inhibitory activity against FGFR1 V561M with an IC of 90.24 nM in homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) bioassays. Additionally, it demonstrated significant growth inhibition in the Huh-7 cell line and effectively suppressed clonal formation. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed critical binding interactions between and both FGFR1 wild-type and V561M variants, with Lys514 playing a pivotal role. Targeting this residue may provide promising strategies to overcome resistance associated with the V561M mutation in FGFR1 inhibitors.

Discovery of Novel 2,4,5-Trisubstituted Pyrimidine Derivatives as Potent and Selective FGFR Inhibitors against Gatekeeper Mutants for the Treatment of NSCLC.

Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) play a critical role in the regulation of cancer cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. However, the development of acquired resistance to FGFR inhibitors remains a major challenge in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly due to mutations at the gatekeeper residue. In this study, we report the discovery of a series of irreversible FGFR inhibitors targeting gatekeeper mutations in FGFR1-3, utilizing a 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyrimidine scaffold.

The overexpression of FGFR1 is thought to significantly contribute to the progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), impacting aspects such as tumorigenesis, growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. Consequently, the pursuit of effective inhibitors for FGFR1 is a key area of research interest. In response to this need, our study developed a hybrid virtual screening method.

Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and FGFR1 rearrangements (MLN-eo FGFR1) disease is derived from a pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell and has a complex presentation with a myeloproliferative disorder with or without eosinophilia and frequently presents with mixed lineage T- or B-lymphomas. The myeloproliferative disease frequently progresses to AML and lymphoid neoplasms can develop into acute lymphomas. No matter the cell type involved, or clinical presentation, chromosome translocations involving the kinase and various partner genes, which leads to constitutive activation of downstream oncogenic signaling cascades.

Background: Pilomyxoid astrocytomas are an aggressive subtype of astrocytoma, not graded by WHO, frequently located in hypothalamic/chiasmatic region, affecting diencephalic structures, and characterized by shorter survival and high recurrence rates. Pilomyxoid astrocytoma management remains controversial, with pathologic tissue diagnosis and relief of mass effect being the main goals of surgery while avoiding treatment-related morbidity, including vision loss, panhypopituitarism, and hypothalamic dysfunction. Chemotherapy (typically vincristine and carboplatin) in all pediatric patients and radiation therapy in pediatric patients over 5 years of age are used for treatment.
