CO-1686 is an irreversible kinase inhibitor that specifically targets mutant forms of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) including T790M (K
i = 21.5 nM) with significantly reduced activity at the wild-
type form of the receptor (K
i = 303.3 nM).
1 CO-1686 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of non-
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells expressing mutant EGFR with GI
50 values ranging from 7-32 nM
in vitro, inducing apoptosis.
1 It also demonstrates anti-
tumor activity in NSCLC EGFR mutant xenograft and transgenic models dosed orally at 100 mg/kg/day.
