c-KIT is a promising therapeutic target against gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). In order to identify novel c-KIT inhibitors capable of overcoming imatinib resistance, we synthesized 31 novel thiazolo[5,4- b ]pyridine derivatives and performed SAR studies. We observed that, among these substances, 6r is capable of inhibiting significantly c-KIT and suppressing substantially proliferation of GIST-T1 cancer cells. It is of note that 6r is potent against a c-KIT V560G/D816V double mutant resistant to imatinib. Compared with sunitinib, 6r possesses higher differential cytotoxicity on c-KIT D816V Ba/F3 cells relative to parental Ba/F3 cells. In addition, kinase panel profiling reveals that 6r has reasonable kinase selectivity. It was found that 6r remarkably attenuates proliferation of cancer cells via blockade of c-KIT downstream signaling, and induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, 6r notably suppresses migration and invasion, as well as anchorage-independent growth of GIST-T1 cells. This study provides useful SAR information for the design of novel c-KIT inhibitors overcoming imatinib-resistance.
