    Epidermal growth factor receptor and its trafficking regulation by acetylation: Implication in resistance and exploring the newer therapeutic avenues in cancer
    (Bentham Science Publishers, 2020) Kumar, M; Joshi, G; Chatterjee, J; Kumar, R.
    Background: The EGFR is overexpressed in numerous cancers. So, it becomes one of the most favorable drug targets. Single-acting EGFR inhibitors on prolong use induce resistance and side effects. Inhibition of EGFR and/or its interacting proteins by dual/combined/multitargeted therapies can deliver more efficacious drugs with less or no resistance. Objective: The review delves deeper to cover the aspects of EGFR mediated endocytosis, leading to its trafficking, internalization, and crosstalk(s) with HDACs. Methods and Results: This review is put forth to congregate relevant literature evidenced on EGFR, its impact on cancer prognosis, inhibitors, and its trafficking regulation by acetylation along with the current strategies involved in targeting these proteins (EGFR and HDACs) successfully by involving dual/hybrid/combination chemotherapy. Conclusion: The current information on cross-talk of EGFR and HDACs would likely assist researchers in designing and developing dual or multitargeted inhibitors through combining the required pharmacophores. � 2020 Bentham Science Publishers.

    Exploration of Pd-catalysed four-component tandem reaction for one-pot assembly of pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines as potential EGFR inhibitors
    (Academic Press Inc., 2019) Ansari, A.J; Joshi, G; Yadav, U.P; Maurya, A.K; Agnihotri, V.K; Kalra, S; Kumar, R; Singh, S; Sawant, D.M.
    A series of pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines as EGFR inhibitors was designed and synthesized by highly efficient and novel multicomponent route involving Pd-catalyzed tandem one-pot four-component reaction. The reaction proceeds with good functional group tolerance under a simple condition with excellent regioselectivity and high efficiency. Target compounds were screened against cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, A549 and H1299. Of these, 9b and 10b exhibited superior anticancer activity (IC50 < 2.5 ?M) to erlotinib and gefitinib. Synthetics were able to inhibit EGFR mediated kinase activity, induced ROS in cancer cells promoting mitochondrial mediated apoptosis via halting cell cycle progression at G1 phase.
