The pyrimidine core-containing compound Osimertinib is the only epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) from the third generation that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to target threonine 790 methionine (T790M) resistance while sparing the wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (WT EGFR). It is nearly 200-fold more selective toward the mutant EGFR as compared to the WT EGFR. A tertiary cystein 797 to serine 797 (C797S) mutation in the EGFR kinase domain has hampered Osimertinib treatment in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This C797S mutation is presumed to induce a tertiary-acquired resistance to all current reversible and irreversible EGFR TKIs. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of resistance to Osimertinib as well as different strategies for overcoming the EGFR-dependent and EGFR-independent mechanisms of resistance, new challenges, and a future direction.

The condensation of phthalic anhydride afforded structurally modified isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives with selected amino-containing compounds. The title compounds ( 2 – 30 ) have been characterized by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), infrared spectroscopy, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. All of the compounds were assessed for their antimycobacterial activity toward the H37Rv strain by a dual read-out assay method. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 27 possessed a significant IC 50 of 18 μM, making it the most potent compound of the series. The InhA inhibitory (IC 50 ) activity of compound 27 was 8.65 μM in comparison to Triclosan (1.32 μM). Computational studies like density functional theory (DFT) study, molecular docking, and dynamic simulation studies illustrated the reactivity and stability of the synthesized compounds as InhA inhibitors. A quantum-mechanics-based DFT study was carried out to investigate the molecular and electronic properties, reactivities, and nature of bonding present in the synthesized compounds and theoretical vibrational (IR) and isotropic value ( 1 H and 13 C NMR) calculations.
