The recent discovery of the fourth generation EAI045 allosteric inhibitor, which potently and selectively inhibits mutant EGFR, represents an important step forward for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the structural determinants of EAI045 selectivity with respect to the wild type (weight) protein have not been fully investigated. To this aim, the authors performed a comparative anal. of long-scale mol. dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations on weight and T790M EGFR in complex with the EAI001 and EAI045 allosteric ligands. Unexpectedly, the authors found that the observed selectivity for T790M EGFR over weight is not due to more favorable interactions of the two ligands with the mutated gatekeeper residue, as previously suggested. Rather, the allosteric ligands were engaged in a direct hydrogen bond with the Asp855 residue of the DFG motif in mutant T790M but not in weight, in which the hydrogen bond was found to be water-mediated. Per-residue decomposition of binding free energies suggest that the loss of a direct interaction with Asp855 is the main cause of inhibitor selectivity. Moreover, the possibility that the allosteric ligands and ATP may have synergistic binding effects, as previously observed in MEK allosteric inhibitors, was investigated. Altogether, the results suggest that ligand selectivity arises from direct hydrogen bonds with the Asp855 side chain, and that the design of mutant-selective inhibitors should be focused on ligands that form direct hydrogen bonds with Asp855 in T790M EGFR but not in weight EGFR. These results may provide useful hints for future structural design of mutant-selective allosteric inhibitors that spare weight EGFR, which is a highly desirable goal.
