MS 154 is a potent and selective cereblon-recruiting Degrader (PROTAC®) of mutant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), comprising a cereblon-binding moiety joined by a linker to gefitinib(Iressa). MS 154 decreases EGFR protein levels, inhibits downstream signaling in and inhibits proliferation of mutant EGFR-bearing lung cancer cells (DC50values are 11 and 25 nM in HCC-827 and H3255 cells, respectively; Dmax> 95% at 50 nM), but not in WT-EGFR-bearing ovarian and lung cancer cells lines. Bioavailable in mice following ip administration.
Milataxel is an orally bioavailable taxane with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, milataxel and its major active metabolite M-10 bind to and stabilize tubulin, resulting in the inhibition of microtubule depolymerization and cell division, cell cycle arrest in the G2 M phase, and the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. Unlike other taxane compounds, milataxel appears to be a poor substrate for the multidrug resistance (MDR) membrane-associated P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump and may be useful for treating multidrug-resistant tumors. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus).This compound is unstable in powder form and other related salt forms are recommended.
