Popis: The abnormal expression of c-ros oncogene1 receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) has been identified as clinically actionable oncogenic driver in non-small-cell lung cancer. Since crizotinib was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of advanced ROS1-positive non-small-cell lung cancer, ROS1 kinase has become a promising therapeutic target. Under the guidance of some advanced computer-assisted technologies, such as structure-based drug design, homology modeling and lipophilic efficiency parameters, several potent and selective inhibitors against wild-type and mutant ROS1 were designed and synthesized. In this article, we will review a series of scaffolds targeting ROS1 kinase from the hit-to-drug evolution strategies of their representative compounds and it is hoped that these design strategies would facilitate medicinal chemists to optimize the process of drug design.
