First generation EGFR TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib) provide significant clinical benefit for NSCLC cancer patients with oncogenic mutations. Ultimately, these patients' disease progresses, often driven by a second-site mutation in the kinase domain (T790M). Another liability of first drugs is severe adverse events inhibition WT EGFR. As such, our goal was to develop highly potent irreversible inhibitor largest selectivity ratio between drug-resistant double mutants (L858R/T790M, Del/T790M) and...
