TL;DR

Results indicate that perimidine-based molecules, particularly Compound 101 and Compound 201, are promising compounds towards the development as EGFR-targeting anticancer drugs; however, further biochemical and cellular target-validation studies are required to confirm direct EGFR inhibition and their therapeutic potential.
