Background: Thienopyrimidinone is a newly designed, selective fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitor with an excellent anticancer effect. Objective: The goal of the present study was to design and synthesize better FGFR1 inhibitors through modifications of the lead
compound thienopyrimidinone. Methods: In the present study, a series of C-2 substituted derivatives of thienopyrimidinone, namely L1-L16, were synthesized, and their inhibitory effects on FGFR1 were evaluated. The anti-proliferative activities of these compounds were assessed by MTT assay.
Results: Among the novel derivatives, L11 was found to exert remarkable FGFR1 inhibitory activity (79.93% at 10 μM) and anti-proliferative activity, with IC50 values of 2.1, 2.5, and 3.5 µM in the FGFR1-overexpressing cell lines, H460, HT-1197, and B16F10, respectively.
Conclusion: Our newly synthesized thienopyrimidinone derivatives may be candidate FGFR1 inhibitors for future development as novel anticancer agents.

A series of tetrahydrobenzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as inhibitors of FGFR1. These analogs were synthesized via Gewald's reaction under mild conditions. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic data (IR, 1 H NMR and MS). Their antitumor activities were evaluated against H460, A549 and U251 cell lines in vitro . Results revealed that the tested compounds showed moderate antitumor activities. Structure–activity relationship analyses indicated that compounds with an aromatic ring substituted in the C-2 position or with larger molecules such as 3g , 4c , and 7 were more effective than others. The compound, 3g (78.8% FGFR1 inhibition at 10 μ m ), was identified to have the most potent antitumor activities, with IC 50 values of 7.7, 18.9, and 13.3 μ m against the H460, A549, and U251 cell lines, respectively. Together, the results suggested that tetrahydrobenzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives may serve as a potential agent for the treatment of FGFR1-mediated cancers.
