Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is correlated with poor prognosis, the current treatment of which is still based on surgery and adjuvant targeted therapy with monoclonal antibody. Problems of drug resistance hinder the use of monoclonal antibodies. Subsequently, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been noticed, TKIs have the advantages of multi-targets and reduced drug resistance. However, TKIs that target HER family proteins often cause adverse effects such as liver damage and diarrhea. Thus, TKIs with high selectivity are being developed. TH-4000, a prodrug that generated an active form TH-4000Effector (TH-4000E) under hypoxic condition, was evaluated in this research. We found that TH-4000E ([(E)-4-[[4-(3-bromo-4-chloroanilino)pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-yl]amino]-4-oxobut-2-enyl]-dimethyl-[(3-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-4-yl)methyl]azanium) (1–1000 nM) had potent and highly selective toxic effects on HER2+ breast cancer cells and inhibited the phosphorylation of HER family kinases at lower doses than that of Lapatinib and Tucatinib. TH-4000E activated Caspase-3 and induced apoptosis through a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent pathway. The prodrug TH-4000 ([(E)-4-[[4-(3-bromo-4-chloroanilino)pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-yl]amino]-4-oxobut-2-enyl]-dimethyl-[(3-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-4-yl)methyl]azanium;bromide) (50 mg/kg) effectively suppressed the tumor growth with less liver damage in mouse tumor models. This hypoxia-targeted strategy has possessed advantage in avoiding drug-induced liver damage, TH-4000 could be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer.
