Abstract excerpt
Monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) targeting the EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) pathways are currently used in colorectal cancer treatment. Despite the improvement of median overall survival, resistance is observed notably due to KRAS and BRAF gene mutations. We synthesized four series of thienopyrimidines whose scaffold is structurally close to TKI used in clinical...
