RESUMO
The USFDA granted regular approval to Osimertinib (AZD9291) on March 2017, for treating individuals with metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer having EGFR T790M mutation. Clinically, Osimertinib stands at the forefront for the treatment of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Osimertinib forms a covalent bond with the Cys797 residue and predominantly spares binding to WT-EGFR, thereby reducing toxicity and enabling the administration of doses that effectively inhibit T790M. However, a high percentage of patients treated with Osimertinib (AZD9291) developed a tertiary cysteine797 to serine797 (C797S) mutation in the EGFR kinase domain, rendering resistance to it. This comprehensive review sheds light on the chemistry, computational aspects, structural features, and expansive spectrum of biological activities of Osimertinib and its analogues. The in-depth exploration of these facets serves as a valuable resource for medicinal chemists, empowering them to design better Osimertinib analogues. This exhaustive study not only provides insights into improving potency but also emphasizes considerations for mutant selectivity and optimizing pharmacokinetic properties. This review acts as a guiding beacon for the strategic design and development of next-generation Osimertinib analogues.
