Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors against prostate tumor cells.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to investigate the activities of novel synthetic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors (ZINC05463076, ZINC2102846 and ZINC19901103) against prostate tumors, in vitro models and investigate the potential underlying mechanisms. A panel of prostate tumor cell lines (LNCaP, DU-145, PC-3 and LNCaP-AI cells) were used to evaluate antitumor activity of ZINC05463076, ZINC2102846, and ZINC19901103 in vitro. Cell growth and clonal formation were determined by MTT assay and Soft agar colony formation assay, respectively. An EGFR kinase assay following treatment of the compounds was performed by ELISA. Cell cycle-regulating proteins, including cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1, CKD2, CKD4 and inhibitory effects of these compounds on downstream s
