Icotinib (Conmana?, BetaPharma), an EGFR inhibitor, was approved by the China State FDA in 2011 for the treatment of NSCLC. Icotinib resembles erlotinib in possessing the N-(3-ethylnylphenyl) quinazolin-4-amine core scaffold of erlotinib that binds to the EGFR ATP pocket. An adjacent hydrophobic group was also retained while the solvent exposed two 2-methoxyethyoxysubstituents at the 6- and 7-positions of the quinazoline core were cyclized to afford the tetraoxacyclododecene moiety of icotinib. Efficacy and safety of icotinib as first-line therapy in patients has been evaluated for advanced NSCLC in recent clinical studies.
