Based on the previously reported furanopyrimidine 3, quinazoline core containing lead 4 was synthesized and found to impart dual FLT3/AURKA inhibition (IC 50 = 127/5 nM), as well as improved physicochemical properties. A detailed structure-activity relationship study of the lead 4 allowed FLT3 and AURKA inhibition to be finely tuned, resulting in AURKA selective (5 and 7; 100-fold selective over FLT3), FLT3 selective (13; 30-fold selective over AURKA) and dual FLT3/AURKA selective (BPR1K871; IC 50 = 19/22 nM) agents. BPR1K871 showed potent anti-proliferative activities in MOLM-13 and MV4-11 AML cells (EC 50 ~ 5 nM). Moreover, kinase profiling and cell-line profiling revealed BPR1K871 to be a potential multi-kinase inhibitor. Functional studies using western blot and DNA content analysis in MV4-11 and HCT-116 cell lines revealed FLT3 and AURKA/B target modulation inside the cells. In vivo efficacy in AML xenograft models (MOLM-13 and MV4-11), as well as in solid tumor models (COLO205 and Mia-PaCa2), led to the selection of BPR1K871 as a preclinical development candidate for anti-cancer therapy. Further detailed studies could help to investigate the full potential of BPR1K871 as a multi-kinase inhibitor.
