Abstract

Seventeen novel compounds of Zidovudine and 4-anilinoquinazoline were synthesized for use as anti-tumor reagents. The target compounds are subjected to antitumor screening against human cancer cells, namely, A549 (lung carcinoma), A549/DDP (lung carcinoma/Cisplatin-resistant), HepG2 (liver carcinoma), Hela (cervical carcinoma), and MCF-7 (breast carcinoma), using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. In addition, their inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anticancer bioassays indicated that most of the compounds exhibited appreciable anticancer activity against five human cancer cell lines. In particular, 1-(4-(5-(((4-((2-chloro- 4-iodophenyl)amino)-6-methoxyquinazolin-7-yl)oxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)- 5-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (8b) was found to be the most potent anticancer agent with an IC50 value of (0.79±0.18) μmol/L against HepG2, respectively. Among the compounds tested, 1-(4-(5-(((4-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-6- methoxyquinazolin-7-yl)oxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-5-methylpyrimidine-2,4 (1H,3H)-dione (8a) and 1-(5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(4-(((7-methoxy-4-((3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)amino)quinazolin-6-yl)oxy)me- thyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-5-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (8l) showed significant inhibition against the five human cancer cell lines. Molecular docking results also showed that compounds 8a and 8l bound well to the EGFR binding sites.
