<p style=/line-height:25px/>Canertinib 2Hcl (CI-1033; PD-183805) is a pan-ErbB inhibitor for EGFR and ErbB2 with IC50 of 1.5 nM and 9.0 nM, no activity to PDGFR, FGFR, InsR, PKC, or CDK1/2/4.<br>IC50 value: 1.5/0.9 nM(EGFR/ErbB2) [1]<br>Target: EGFR/ErbB2<br>in vitro: CI-1033 shows excellent potency for irreversible inhibition of erbB2 autophosphorylation in MDA-MB 453 cells. CI-1033 also shows high permeability in Caco-2 cells and inhibits secretory transport of vinblastine, which indicates that CI-1033 is a likely inhibitor of the P-gp [1]. CI-1033 alone, significantly suppresses constitutively activated Akt and MAP kinase. In combination with gemcitabine, CI-1033 inhibits Akt and prevents increased levels of MAPK phosphorylation. CI-1033 stimulates p27 expression and p38 phosphorylation in MDA-MB-453 cells [2]. CI-1033 is highly specific to the erbB receptor family and not sensitive to PGFR, FGFR or IR even at 50 μM. CI-1033 shows high levels of inhibition in A431 cells expressing EGFR with IC50 of 7.4 nM. CI-1033 suppresses heregulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of erbB2, erbB3 and erbB4 with IC50 of 5, 14 and 10 nM, respectively. CI-1033 also inhibits expression of pp62c-fos in response to heregulin [3].<br>in vivo: CI-1033 shows impressive activity against A431 xenografts in nude mice at 5 mg/kg of body weight [1]. CI-1033 (20 to 80 mg/kg/d) achieves a high degree of tumor regressions in H125 xenograft models [3]. Oral administration of CI-1033 causes a marked inhibition of growth in TT, TE6 and TE10 xenografts in nude mice, without animal death and <10% weight loss [4].</p>
