2-ButynaMide, N-[4-[(3-broMophenyl)aMino]-6-quinazolinyl]-

Description

Overactivity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase activity has been associated with a number of cancers. CL 387,785 is a potent, irreversible inhibitor of EGFR kinase activity (IC₅₀ = 370 pM). It blocks EGF-stimulated autophosphorylation of receptors in cells (IC₅₀ = 5 nM) and halts cell cycling in cells that overexpress EGFR or c-ErbB2 (IC₅₀s = 31-125 nM). CL 387,785 profoundly blocks the growth of EGFR-overexpressing tumors in nude mice when given orally at 80 mg/kg/day for 10 days.

The Uses of 2-ButynaMide, N-[4-[(3-broMophenyl)aMino]-6-quinazolinyl]-

CL-387785 (EKI-785) is an irreversible and selective EGFR inhibitor showing activity against mutations of the receptor. Potential therapeutic against various type of cancer, including lung cancer.

What are the applications of Application

CL-387,785 is an irreversible inhibitor of EGF-receptor kinase activity

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of quinazolines that is 4,6-diaminoquinazoine in which the one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group at position 4 has been replaced by a m-bromophenyl group while one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group a position 6 has been replaced by a but-2-ynoyl group.

in vitro

cl-387785 covalently bound to egfr. it also specifically inhibited kinase activity of the protein, blocked egf-stimulated autophosphorylation of the receptor in cells, inhibited cell proliferation primarily in a cytostatic manner in cell lines that overexpress egf-r or c-erbb-2 [1].

in vivo

the effects of cl-387785 on tumor growth were assessed in human tumor xenografts implanted s.c. in the flanks of nude mice. cl-387785 inhibited the growth of tumors derived from a431 cells when the drug was administered i.p. or p.o.. inhibitory effects were observed within 7 days after the onset of therapy. no efficacy was observed with cl-387785 in tumors derived from cell lines that did not overexpress egf-r, including the human breast carcinoma mda-mb-435 [1].
