Executive Summary :

The US FDA approved Osimertinib (AZD9291) for treating metastatic EGFR-T790M NSCLC. However, a significant number of patients developed a C797S mutation, rendering Osimertinib resistant. This suggests a need for drugs to overcome this resistance obstacle. The current proposal focuses on designing and synthesizing fourth-generation triple mutant selective EGFR-L858R-T790M-C797S tyrosine kinase inhibitors to overcome this resistance in NSCLC chemotherapy.
