Described as a Btk inhibitor, ibrutinib also potently inhibits Bmx and EGFR, two good targets for lung cancer. Owing to its high CLogP (4.07) and low aqueous solubility (<0.01 mg/ml), resulting in unfavorable bioavailability, ibrutinib requires high dosages to achieve good clinical response in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In our effort to improve the CLogP of ibrutinib by structural optimization led to the discovery of a potent anti-cancer agent B6 , with beneficial physicochemical parameters (CLogP = 2.56, solubility in water ≈ 0.1 mg/ml) meeting the principles of oral drugs. B6 exhibited anti-proliferation activities against EGFR-expressing cells, especially the mutant ones, such as H1975 (L858R/T790M, IC 50 = 0.92 ± 0.19 μM) and HCC827 (Del119 IC 50 = 0.014 ± 0.01 μM). Moreover, B6 significantly slowed down H1975 tumor growth with anti-tumor rate of 73.9% ( p < 0.01). Enzyme potencies assay demonstrated B6 moderately selectively inhibited Bmx (IC 50 = 35.7 ± 0.1 nM) over other kinases. So, as a potent Bmx inhibitor, B6 has the potential to be an efficacious treatment for NSCLC with acquired drug resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
