Abstract:
Aberrant fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) activation drives bladder carcinogenesis in humans, but currently approved pan-FGFR inhibitors lack FGFR3 isoform selectivity and fail to counter clinically acquired resistance mutations (e.g., FGFR3 V555M/L). Herein, we report the structure-based drug design of 4-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine derivatives as the first covalent FGFR3 selective inhibitors. The representative compound 10s displayed high potency against FGFR3 (IC50 = 6.8 nM) and 5-60-fold selectivity over FGFR1/2/4. It was also effective against the common clinically acquired FGFR3V555M resistance mutation with an IC50 value of 19.2 nM. Furthermore, 10s exhibited strong antiproliferative effects in FGFR3-driven RT112/84 cells (IC50 = 9.2 nM). Structural characterization using MALDI-TOF-MS and X-ray crystallography confirmed covalent binding of 10s to FGFR3. Compound 10s also showed significant antitumor efficacy in the RT112/84 bladder cancer xenograft model, offering a promising compound to address both selectivity and resistance in FGFR3-targeted therapy.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
