AZ14289671 is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-penetrant tyrosine kinase ( tyrosine kinase ) inhibitor (TKI) that specifically targets non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations ( EGFR Exon20Ins ), while largely sparing wild-type EGFR to reduce off-target toxicities such as rash and diarrhea. AZ14289671 inhibits the downstream MAPK/ERK/AKT pathway, suppressing tumor cell proliferation, survival and migration. AZ14289671 can be used for NSCLC research [1].
In Vivo, AZ14289671 (6.25-50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 14 consecutive days) induces dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in the LXF2478ASV xenograft mouse model[1]. AZ14289671 (6.25-50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 14 consecutive days) exhibits significantly lower tumor growth inhibitory activity (maximum TGI of 62%) and EGFR phosphorylation inhibition in the H2073WT xenograft mouse model[1]. AZ14289671 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 16 consecutive days) induces 86% TGI in the A431WT xenograft mouse model[1]. AZ14289671 (6.25-50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 28 consecutive days) induces dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in the LU3075DNP xenograft mouse model[1]. AZ14289671 (25-50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 28 consecutive days) induces dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in the LU0387NPH xenograft mouse model[1]. AZ14289671 (2 μmol/kg/h; intravenous injection; continuous infusion; 4 h) crosses the blood-brain barrier of healthy rats, with a Kpuu value of 0.17[1].
In Vitro, AZ14289671 (1 μM) exhibits high kinome selectivity, with only a small subset of non-EGFR family kinases showing inhibition rates exceeding 50%[1]. AZ14289671 (2 h) potently inhibits EGFR phosphorylation in EGFRExon20Ins cell lines (mean IC50 = 17-41 nM), with significantly reduced activity in EGFRWT cell lines (mean IC50 = 480-832 nM), exhibiting high mutant selectivity[1]. AZ14289671 (2 h) potently inhibits ERK phosphorylation in LXF2478ASV EGFR Exon20Ins cells, with a mean IC50 of 32 nM[1]. AZ14289671 (10-1000 nmol/L; 2 h, 6 h) potently inhibits MAPK pathway signaling (including phosphorylation of ERK, AKT and S6) in LXF2478ASV EGFRExon20Ins cells after 2 h and 6 h of treatment[1]. AZ14289671 (30-1000 nM; 6 h) dose-dependently inhibits the gene expression of the MAPK pathway in LXF2478ASV EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant cells[1]. AZ14289671 (2 h) potently inhibits EGFR phosphorylation in EGFRExon20Ins/T790M, EGFRL858R, EGFRL858R/T790M and EGFREx19del cell lines (mean IC50 = 7-45 nM), and suppresses HER2 phosphorylation in BT-474HER2WT and H2170HER2YVMA cells with mean IC50 values of 75 nM and 125 nM, respectively[1]. AZ14289671 (1 μM; 2 h) exhibits low propensity as an efflux transporter substrate, with an efflux ratio of 1.5 in MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP cells and 4.7 in MDCKI-MDR1 cells[1].
