MC-Sq-Cit-PAB-Gefitinib is a potent antitumor drug-linker conjugate for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC), utilizing Gefitinib—an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor—connected through the MC-Sq-Cit-PAB ADC linker.
Gefitinib impurity 1 is a compound derived from Gefitinib, a potent and selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (IC 50 = 33 nM). This orally active compound selectively inhibits tumor cell growth stimulated by EGF (IC 50 = 54 nM) and inhibits EGFR autophosphorylation induced by EGF in tumor cells. Additionally, Gefitinib induces autophagy and exhibits antitumor activity.
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.
EGFR-IN-1, an orally active and irreversible selective inhibitor targeting L858R/T790M mutant EGFR, exhibits strong antiproliferative and antitumor activity, particularly against H1975 cells and first line mutant HCC827 cells. This compound potently inhibits Gefitinib-resistant EGFR L858R/T790M mutations with a 100-fold selectivity over the wild-type EGFR.
