Discovery of novel JAK2 and EGFR inhibitors from a series of thiazole-based chalcone derivatives

formed a hydrogen bond with Met769 at the hinge region, Lys721 near a glycine loop, and Asp831 at the activation loop of EGFR. Altogether, these potent thiazole derivatives, following Lipinski's rule of five, could likely be developed as a promising JAK2/EGFR targeted drug(s) for cancer therapy.
