Uses
A novel dual receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the EGF and the VEGF receptor, for treatment of human HCC cell lines and in a s.c. xenograft model.
Uses
AEE788 is a novel multitargeted human epidermal receptor (HER) 1/2 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 1/2 receptor family tyrosine kinases inhibitor with IC50 of 2, 6, 77, 59 nM for EGFR, ErbB2, KDR, and Flt-1.
Uses
AEE788 is an inhibitor of both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase family members. It can inhibit EGFR and VEGFR tyrosine kinases with IC50 values of 2, 6, 77, and 59 nM for EGFR, ErbB2, KDR, and FLT1, respectively. AEE788 demonstrates antiproliferative activity against a range of EGFR and ErbB2-overexpressing cell lines and can inhibit the proliferation of EGF- and VEGF-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. It also has been shown to have antitumor and anti-angiogenic activity in numerous animal models of cancer.[Cayman Chemical]
Definition
ChEBI:AEE788 is a 6-{4-[(4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}-N-(1-phenylethyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine which adopts an R-configuration. It is a potent inhibitor of human EGFR, VEGFR and HER2 receptor tyrosine kinases and exhibits anticancer and antiangiogenic activity. It has a role as an epidermal growth factor receptor antagonist, an EC 2.7.10.1 (receptor protein-tyrosine kinase) inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent, an angiogenesis inhibitor, a trypanocidal drug and an apoptosis inducer.
