Icotinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; IC₅₀=5nM) inhibitor that targets mutants such as EGFR (L858R, T790M, L861Q)[1-2]. Icotinib blocks tumor cell proliferation signals by inhibiting EGFR tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation and promotes tumor cell death through activation of apoptotic pathways, primarily utilized in non-small cell lung cancer research[3-4].
In vitro, Icotinib (2μM) was administered to PC-9/GR and H1975 non-small cell lung cancer cells for 4 weeks. Icotinib upregulated ATG7 expression via the STAT3/FOXM1 signaling pathway, inducing protective autophagy, thereby inhibiting Icotinib-induced apoptosis and enhancing drug resistance[5]. Treatment of A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells with Icotinib (0.01–10μM) for 24-72 hours, Icotinib exerted concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Icotinib suppressed the the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process[6].
In vivo, Icotinib (50mg/kg) was orally administered to BALB/c nude mice bearing H1975 xenograft tumors (starting at a tumor volume of approximately 100mm³, three times per week for 5 weeks). Icotinib monotherapy only slightly reduced tumor volume, whereas its combination with Chidamide (12.5mg/kg or 25mg/kg) significantly suppressed tumor growth[7]. Icotinib (100mg/kg) was orally administered to BALB/c nude mice bearing PC9 xenograft tumors (starting on day 10 post-implantation, once daily for 18 days). Icotinib alone inhibited tumor growth, and a more pronounced antitumor effect was observed when combined with Thalidomide (200mg/kg)[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
A549 cells (human non-small cell lung cancer cell line) |
|
Preparation Method |
A549 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100U/mL penicillin, and 100μg/mL streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. A549 cells were treated with Icotinib at concentrations of 0.01–10μM for 24–72 hours. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0.01–10μM; 24–72 hours |
|
Applications |
Icotinib significantly inhibited A549 cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with the highest inhibition rate observed at 10μM after 72 hours. Icotinib induced apoptosis in A549 cells, as evidenced by increased apoptosis rates at concentrations of 0.01–10μM after 48 hours. Icotinib suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by upregulating E-cadherin expression and downregulating N-cadherin, Vimentin, and fibronectin levels. Additionally, Icotinib reduced A549 cell migration and invasion abilities in Transwell assays. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
BALB/c nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Mice were subcutaneously injected with 5×10⁶ PC9 cells and randomized into treatment groups. Mice received daily oral administration of thalidomide (200mg/kg), Icotinib (100mg/kg), or their combination for 18 days. Tumor volumes were measured periodically, and tissues were harvested for analysis. |
|
Dosage form |
100mg/kg; p.o.; Daily for 18 days. |
|
Applications |
Icotinib monotherapy suppressed tumor growth in PC9 xenograft models, while combination with thalidomide synergistically enhanced antitumor efficacy, significantly reducing tumor volume and Ki-67 proliferation index, and increasing TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells. |
