Dacomitinib is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of EGFR. It is a drug candidate for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma. It is current under the Phase III clinical trials. It also shows potential for the treatment of HER-2 amplified breast cancer cells lines that are resistant to trastuzumab and lapatinib.
Uses
1.Dacomitinib (PF299804), which name is (E)-N-[4-(3-chloro-4-fluoroanilino)-7- methoxyquinazolin-6-yl]-4-piperidin-1-ylbut-2-enamide, is a potent, orally available, highly selective, irreversible small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of tyrosine kinase human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER) 1 (EGFR), HER2, and HER4. It is most effective against EGFR with IC50 of 6 nM. It is highly effective against NSCLCs carrying EGFR or ERBB2 mutant (anti-Gefitinib) and EGFR T790M mutant.
2.PF299804 is a potent, irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor against ErbB1, ErbB2 and ErbB4 with IC50 of 6 nM, 45.7 nM and 73.7 nM, respectively.
