Biological activities

Erlotinib is a selective, orally available small-molecule inhibitor of the HER1/EGFR tyrosine kinase domain, used to treat non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and several other types of cancer. The growth inhibitory effect of erlotinib is investigated in a panel of 42 NSCLC-derived cell lines under low serum tissue culture conditions with added EGFR ligand (TGF-α, 3 nM) to specifically activate EGFR. Using the Celltiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay, NSCLC cell lines exhibit nearly a 2-log range in erlotinib IC50 (0.3 to??0 μM). Furthermore, KRAS mutations are identified in 31% of the NSCLC cell lines, which, interestingly, cluster primarily in cell lines of intermediate sensitivity (2-8 μM IC50) to erlotinib.[1] The apparent Ki values for wild-type EGFR, the L858R and Del (746-750) mutants EGFR are 17.5, 6.3 and 3.3 nM, respectively. Besides, erlotinib inhibits TGFα-induced cellular proliferation with an IC50 of 12.9 nM for the NR6-EGFR Del (746-752) cell line, 40.5 nM for the NR6-EGFR L858R cell line, and 50.4 nM for the NR6-EGFR cell line.[2] Erlotinib 20 and 100 mg/kg is given by gavage to female nu/nu athymic mice. The mice given 100 mg/kg have high systemic exposures to erlotinib, with an AUClast value of approximately 196 000 h.ng/mL and the AUClast following 20 mg/kg is 33 500 h.ng/mL. In the H460a NSCLC xenograft (day 28 post-tumor implantation), erlotinib, as a mono-therapy, has significant dose-dependent efficacy. In the 6.25 mg/kg , 12.5 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg group there are growth inhibition of 28%, 36%, 46% and 61% (versus vehicle control)., respectively.[3] When administered orally (by gavage) or parenterally (i.p.), erlotinib consistently produces significant, dose-related inhibition of HN5 EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation 1 hour after dosing the HN5 tumor xenografts. Furthermore, erlotinib produces dose-related inhibition of the s.c. growth of the human HN5 with an effective dosage for 50% inhibition (AED50) of 7 mg/kg/day p.o and 100% tumor growth inhibition of 12.5 mg/kg/day p.o.[4]
