Description

(I) TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of synthetic chemistry and pharmacotherapy, and particularly relates to a N,4-diphenylpyrimidin-2-amine compound, a preparation method and application thereof. (II) BACKGROUND

[0002] Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the key factors for the failure of chemotherapy of malignant tumors, which greatly limits the efficacy of anticancer drugs, leading to increased difficulty in treatment and poor prognosis of patients. The formation mechanism is complex, mainly involving enhanced drug efflux mechanism in cells, activated DNA repair ability, inhibited apoptosis pathway, and changes in tumor microenvironment, and other factors.

[0003] At present, the reversal agents for MDR mainly include: chemical synthesis of small molecule reversal agents (such as verapamil), natural products and their derivatives (such as cyclosporin A, flavonoids), and drug delivery systems based on nano-carriers. However, most of the existing MDR reversal agents still have obvious limitations, such as low pharmacological selectivity, insufficient in vivo inhibitory activity, strong self-toxicity, and possible interference with the metabolic kinetics of co-administered anticancer drugs. In addition, there is a compensation and cross-activation phenomenon between tumor drug resistance pathways, and the development of reversal agents targeting a single mechanism is easy to trigger bypass drug resistance activation, leading to non-persistent or ineffective reversal effect, which is still the main challenge of current MDR reversal therapy. (III) SUMMARY
