Complex Crystal Structures of EGFR with Third-Generation Kinase Inhibitors and Simultaneously Bound Allosteric Ligands.

ABSTRACT: Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and currently the gold-standard for the treatment of patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring T790M-mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The outcome of the treatment, however, is limited by the emergence of the C797S resistance mutation. Allosteric inhibitors have a different mode of action and were developed to overcome this limitation. However, most of these innovative molecules are not effective as a single agent. Recently, mutated EGFR was successfully addressed with osimertinib combined with the allosteric inhibitor JBJ-04-125-02, but surprisingly, structural insights into their binding mode were lacking. Here, we present the first complex crystal structures of mutant EGFR in complex with third-generation inhibitors such as osimertinib and mavelertinib in the presence of simultaneously bound allosteric inhibitors. These structures highlight the possibility of further combinations targeting EGFR and lay the foundation for hybrid inhibitors as next-generation TKIs.

Acquired resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKIs and emerging next-generation EGFR inhibitors.

Project description:The discovery that mutations in the EGFR gene are detected in up to 50% of lung adenocarcinoma patients, along with the development of highly efficacious epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has revolutionized the treatment of this frequently occurring lung malignancy. Indeed, the clinical success of these TKIs constitutes a critical milestone in targeted cancer therapy. Three generations of EGFR-TKIs are currently approved for the treatment of EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The first-generation TKIs include erlotinib, gefitinib, lapatinib, and icotinib; the second-generation ErbB family blockers include afatinib, neratinib, and dacomitinib; whereas osimertinib, approved by the FDA on 2015, is a third-generation TKI targeting EGFR harboring specific mutations. Compared with the first- and second-generation TKIs, third-generation EGFR inhibitors display a significant advantage in terms of patient survival. For example, the median overall survival in NSCLC patients receiving osimertinib reached 38.6 months. Unfortunately, however, like other targeted therapies, new EGFR mutations, as well as additional drug-resistance mechanisms emerge rapidly after treatment, posing formidable obstacles to cancer therapeutics aimed at surmounting this chemoresistance. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to third-generation EGFR inhibitors and the ongoing efforts to address and overcome this chemoresistance. We also discuss the current status of fourth-generation EGFR inhibitors, which are of great value in overcoming resistance to EGFR inhibitors that appear to have greater therapeutic benefits in the clinic.

Third-generation EGFR and ALK inhibitors: mechanisms of resistance and management.

Project description:The discoveries of EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangements as actionable oncogenic drivers in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has propelled a biomarker-directed treatment paradigm for patients with advanced-stage disease. Numerous EGFR and ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with demonstrated efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant and ALK-rearranged NSCLCs have been developed, culminating in the availability of the highly effective third-generation TKIs osimertinib and lorlatinib, respectively. Despite their marked efficacy, resistance to these agents remains an unsolved fundamental challenge. Both 'on-target' mechanisms (largely mediated by acquired resistance mutations in the kinase domains of EGFR or ALK) and 'off-target' mechanisms of resistance (mediated by non-target kinase alterations such as bypass signalling activation or phenotypic transformation) have been identified in patients with disease progression on osimertinib or lorlatinib. A growing understanding of the biology and spectrum of these mechanisms of resistance has already begun to inform the development of more effective therapeutic strategies. In this Review, we discuss the development of third-generation EGFR and ALK inhibitors, predominant mechanisms of resistance, and approaches to tackling resistance in the clinic, ranging from novel fourth-generation TKIs to combination regimens and other investigational therapies.

Quinazolinones as allosteric fourth-generation EGFR inhibitors for the treatment of NSCLC.

Project description:The C797S mutation confers resistance to covalent EGFR inhibitors used in the treatment of lung tumors with the activating L858R mutation. Isoindolinones such as JBJ-4-125-02 bind in an allosteric pocket and are active against this mutation, with high selectivity over wild-type EGFR. The most potent examples we developed from that series have a potential chemical instability risk from the combination of the amide and phenol groups. We explored a scaffold hopping approach to identify new series of allosteric EGFR inhibitors that retained good potency in the absence of the phenol group. The 5-F quinazolinone 34 demonstrated tumor regression in an H1975 efficacy model upon once daily oral dosing at 25 mg/kg.

Third-generation inhibitors targeting EGFR T790M mutation in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are widely used in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, EGFR T790M mutation leads to resistance to most clinically available EGFR TKIs. Third-generation EGFR TKIs against the T790M mutation have been in active clinical development. These agents include osimertinib, rociletinib, HM61713, ASP8273, EGF816, and PF-06747775. Osimertinib and rociletinib have shown clinical efficacy in phase I/II trials in patients who had acquired resistance to first- or second-generation TKIs. Osimertinib (AZD9291, TAGRISSO) was recently approved by FDA for metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC. HM61713, ASP8237, EGF816, and PF-06747775 are still in early clinical development. This article reviews the emerging data regarding third-generation agents against EGFR T790M mutation in the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC.

An oligoclonal antibody durably overcomes resistance of lung cancer to third-generation EGFR inhibitors.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations identify patients with lung cancer who derive benefit from kinase inhibitors. However, most patients eventually develop resistance, primarily due to the T790M second-site mutation. Irreversible inhibitors (e.g., osimertinib/AZD9291) inhibit T790M-EGFR, but several mechanisms, including a third-site mutation, C797S, confer renewed resistance. We previously reported that a triple mixture of monoclonal antibodies, 3×mAbs, simultaneously targeting EGFR, HER2, and HER3, inhibits T790M-expressing tumors. We now report that 3×mAbs, including a triplet containing cetuximab and trastuzumab, inhibits C797S-expressing tumors. Unlike osimertinib, which induces apoptosis, 3×mAbs promotes degradation of the three receptors and induces cellular senescence. Consistent with distinct mechanisms, treatments combining 3×mAbs plus sub-inhibitory doses of osimertinib synergistically and persistently eliminated tumors. Thus, oligoclonal antibodies, either alone or in combination with kinase inhibitors, might preempt repeated cycles of treatment and rapid emergence of resistance.

Non-small cell lung cancer cells with uncommon EGFR exon 19delins variants respond poorly to third-generation EGFR inhibitors.

Project description:BackgroundThis study compared the clinical efficacy of first-, second-, and third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in previously untreated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19delins variants.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 19delins mutations who were treated with third- and first-generation EGFR TKIs. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to verify the sensitivity of these mutations to distinct generations of TKIs. Molecular simulation was used to investigate the structural characteristics of the EGFR mutant molecules.ResultsIn a multicenter cohort of 1,526 patients, 37 (2.4 %) had uncommon EGFR 19delins mutations. Twenty-four patients were treated with first-generation EGFR TKIs, and third-generation TKIs were administered to ten patients as frontline therapy. Patients carrying EGFR exon 19delins mutations who were given third-generation TKIs exhibited comparatively shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in relation to those who received first-generation EGFR inhibitors; median PFS: 6.9 months vs. 19.1 months (p < 0.001), Median OS: 19.1 months vs. 32.6 months (p < 0.001). In vivo and in vitro studies revealed that uncommon EGFR 19delins variants exhibit limited sensitivity to third-generation EGFR inhibitors in contrast to first- and second-generation EGFR inhibitors. The molecular binding affinity of third-generation EGFR TKIs toward uncommon EGFR 19delins mutations was less than that of first- and second-generation EGFR inhibitors.ConclusionsUncommon EGFR 19delins variants respond poorly to third-generation EGFR inhibitors in NSCLC. Uncommon EGFR 19delins mutations may serve as an unfavorable predictive factor for the efficacy of third-generation EGFR TKI therapy, offering potential guidance for future clinical decision-making.

Structural Differences between Wild-Type and Double Mutant EGFR Modulated by Third-Generation Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:Mutations in the EGFR kinase domain are implicated in non-small-cell lung cancer. Of particular interest is the drug-resistant double mutant (L858R/T790M, DM EGFR), which is not inhibited selectively by any approved kinase inhibitor. Here we apply bipartite tetracysteine display to demonstrate that DM and WT EGFR differ in structure outside the kinase domain. The structural difference is located within the cytoplasmic juxtamembrane segment (JM) that links the kinase domain with the extracellular and transmembrane regions and is essential for EGFR activation. We show further that third-generation DM EGFR-selective TKIs alter JM structure via allostery to restore the conformation found when WT EGFR is activated by the growth factors EGF and HB-EGF. This work suggests that the oncogenic activity of DM EGFR may extend beyond kinase activity per se to include kinase-independent activities. As JM structure may provide a biomarker for these kinase-independent functions, these insights could guide the development of allosteric, DM-selective inhibitors.

Crystal structures of the N-terminal kinase domain of human RSK1 bound to three different ligands: Implications for the design of RSK1 specific inhibitors.

Project description:The p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs) also known as MAPKAP-Ks are serine/threonine protein kinases that are activated by ERK or PDK1 and act as downstream effectors of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). RSK1, a member of the RSK family, contains two distinct kinase domains in a single polypeptide chain, the regulatory C-terminal kinase domain (CTKD) and the catalytic N-terminal kinase domain (NTKD). Autophosphorylation of the CTKD leads to activation of the NTKD that subsequently phosphorylates downstream substrates. Here we report the crystal structures of the unactivated RSK1 NTKD bound to different ligands at 2.0 A resolution. The activation loop and helix alphaC, key regulatory elements of kinase function, are disordered. The DFG motif of the inactive RSK1 adopts an "active-like" conformation. The beta-PO(4) group in the AMP-PCP complex adopts a unique conformation that may contribute to inactivity of the enzyme. Structures of RSK1 ligand complexes offer insights into the design of novel anticancer agents and into the regulation of the catalytic activity of RSKs.

Dual Reversible Coumarin Inhibitors Mutually Bound to Monoamine Oxidase B and Acetylcholinesterase Crystal Structures.

Project description:Multitarget directed ligands (MTDLs) represent a promising frontier in tackling the complexity of multifactorial pathologies. The synergistic inhibition of monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is believed to provide a potentiated effect in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Among previously reported micromolar or sub-micromolar coumarin-bearing dual inhibitors, compound 1 returned a tight-binding inhibition of MAO B (K i = 4.5 μM) and a +5.5 °C increase in the enzyme T m value. Indeed, the X-ray crystal structure revealed that binding of 1 produces unforeseen conformational changes at the MAO B entrance cavity. Interestingly, 1 showed great shape complementarity with the AChE enzymatic gorge, being deeply buried from the catalytic anionic subsite (CAS) to the peripheral anionic subsite (PAS) and causing significant structural changes in the active site. These findings provide structural templates for further development of dual MAO B and AChE inhibitors.
