This invention relates to the field of
medicinal chemistry, and particularly to a
small molecule inhibitor of TEAD and its use in drugs for TEAD
receptor-related cancers. Seven compounds were identified as TEAD inhibitors through
virtual screening, and one compound was ultimately determined to have inhibitory effects on TEAD cells. This compound can therefore serve as a
lead compound for the preparation of drugs for treating
mesothelioma and other diseases related to the TEAD target. Specifically, the compound is: N-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methyl-2-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)pyrazol-4-yl]
quinoline-4-
carboxamide. This invention effectively screens ligands that inhibit the TEAD
receptor using a combination of the AutoGen
software for automated molecule generation and bioactivity assays. These ligands can serve as lead compounds for the preparation of drugs for treating TEAD
receptor-mediated diseases, especially
mesothelioma, and can effectively treat TEAD receptor-related diseases and their complications.
