Several members of the quinazoline class of known tyrosine kinase inhibitors are approved anticancer agents, often showing selectivity for receptors of the HER/ErbB-family. Combining structural elements of this class with the bisindolylmethanone-structure led to a series of novel compounds. These compounds inhibited EGFR in the nanomolar range.

Several members of the quinazoline class of known tyrosine kinase inhibitors are approved anticancer agents, often showing selectivity for receptors of the HER/ErbB-family. Combining structural elements of this class with the bisindolylmethanone-structure led to a series of novel compounds. These compounds inhibited EGFR in the nanomolar range. Moreover, inhibition of EGFR autophosphorylation in intact A431 cells was shown, with IC50 values ranging form 0.3-1 mu M for compound 42, and 0.1-0.3 mu M for 45. In a panel of 42 human tumor cell lines the sensitivity profile of the novel compounds was shown to be similar to that of the quinazoline class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors lapatinib and erlotinib (Tarceva (R)).
