Abstract The tropomyosin receptor kinases TRKs are responsible for different tumor types which caused by NTRK gene fusion, and have been identified as a successful target for anticancer therapeutics. Herein, we report a potent and selectivity TRKs inhibitor 19m through rational drug design strategy from a micromolar potency hit 17a. Compound 19m significantly inhibits the proliferation of TRK-dependent cell lines (Km-12), while it has no inhibitory effect on TRK-independent cell lines (A549 and THLE-2). Furthermore, kinases selectivity profiling showed that in addition to TRKs, compound 19m only displayed relatively strong inhibitory activity on ALK. These data may indicate that compound 19m has a good drug safety. Partial ADME properties were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Compound 19m exhibited a good AUC values and volume of distribution and low clearance in the pharmacokinetics experiment of rats. Finally, a pharmacophore model guided by experimental results is proposed. We hope this theoretical model can help researchers find type I TRK inhibitors more efficiently.
